The actual function is saying the server sent back an extension saying
it supported secure renegotiation. That means it is safe to attempt to
renegotiate with the server it does not guarantee that the server will
actually accept a renegotiation attempt. 

I'd suggest you include the -tlsextdebug option to s_client and see if
you get the RI extension back from the server.
