Hi
I have looked through the archives and cannot find an answer to this question.
I know relatively little about SSL or cryptography in general so I am
probably asking an obvious question that I will get flamed for...
The long and short story:
Short story:
Short story:
I cannot connect using netscape to the demo server found in /demos/ssl/serv.cpp
I get the error message
20669:error:1408A0C1:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:no shared
cipher:s3_srvr.c:714:
from the server and netscape says:
Netscape and this server cannot communicate securely because they have
no common encryption algorithm(s).
I have a thawte certificate that definitely works as I am using it
Long Story:
I am trying to build a commandline web browser that allows you to
retrieve the HTML on a webpage. I have everything working now except
for passing variables to a secure server via POST.
I am passing it in the form:
GET /someurl.cgi HTTP/1.0
Host: test.com
User-Agent: Robot Commandline Browser
Accept: image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, */*
Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-length: 8
test=dot
This works fine as an insecure browser. When I try and send this to a
secure server, it doesnt work.
Well, it doesnt SEEM to work, I used it on myown test CGI script and
it seemed to work, but when I send it to some real live servers, they
cannot read the data I send to them. I tested with my script and it
receives all the variable data, and can display the string that is
passed to stdin, but on sites where I cannot get access to the servers
to see what is happening, it doesnt seem to pass the variables properly.
So, I decided to create a quick dirty server just to see what exactly
netscape is sending to the remote serveres, see where my handshaking
differs, and see where I am going wrong, as from what I can tell I am
following all of the protocols properly. However, when I use the demo
server, I get the error messages as described in the short story.
Now, I am using openSSL 0.9.3a, maybee this is an issue with that
version and I should upgrade to 0.9.4...
If anyone has any hints as to how to make the demo server work with
netscape, or what I am doing wrong with my passing the variables to
the remote site, please, let me know.
Thanks
M Simms
