Hi,

I am using openssl-0.9.6d to establish a secure web server. I am having
some 
problems with the DES-CBC3-SHA (TLS_RSA_WITH_3DES_EDE_CBC_SHA)cipher 
suite. Details below:

Platform: Unix.
- openssl req -x509 -new -keyout srvkey.pem -out srvcert.pem -days 365
-newkey rsa:1024 -nodes

- openssl s_server -cert srvcert.pem -key srvkey.pem -cipher
DES-CBC3-SHA -WWW
 (I intend to use only one cipher suite, DES-CBC3-SHA).

- I create/copy a html file (say temp.html) to the directory where I ran 
the above commands.

- I tried to connect from a browser using https://IP
ADDRESS:PORT/temp.html

(PORT=default)In Internet Explorer I get an error: "The page cannot be
displayed". 
I get this error even after I install the certificate. In Netscape, I am
able to install the certificate and successfully open the html page.

This problem does not arise in openssl-0.9.6b version.
This problem does not arise in openssl-0.9.6d, if I am using low
encryption
strengths (128 bit or 40 bit).

I have read the CHANGES document (from 0.9.6b to 0.9.6d) and it mentions
some
changes (from 0.9.6b to 0.9.6c) for block cipher padding. I read the
details 
of the new padding method in http://www.openssl.org/~bodo/tls-cbc.txt,
but that 
didn't help much.

Can anyone suggest a solution for my problem?
