Hi - There is a bug with SSL handling in the 3.2.0b6 code. While a patch has been applied to what is in CVS, it will not be in the version you are working with unless the RPM producer added it on their own. I suspect that it is this bug that is causing the problems you report below. The reason it seems to take an unexpectedly long time to generate the output you provided is due to the fact that the connection is not functioning properly and has to wait on a 30 second timeout three times before htdig gives up.
Here are a couple links regarding the SSL bug, including a patch. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=Pine.LNX. 4.60.0408262141580.7827%40loki.yggdrasill.net http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=Pine.LNX. 4.63.0505230007240.26726%40loki.yggdrasill.net&forum_name=htdig-dev Jim On Mar 29, 2007, at 11:08 AM, Joe Auty wrote: > I've rebuilt htdig with --with-ssl, and it appears as if I have SSL > support, but I'm having the following problem now...
