Re: (newbie) Problem connecting with a specific server

[Patrik Carlsson]

As far as I can see 156.77.100.189:443 doesn't send its full certificate chain => OpenSSL can't verify the server certificate. (Would be nice with a working verify option...) Connecting with Netscape works fine because the issuer (RSA Data Security, Secure Server Certification Authority) is in its local db. Also, connecting with other applications which doesn't verify the chain works ok.
