Dears, I am using libcurl to perform "http" and "https" request. We have traced the log from libcurl. It also an debug callback function to openssl. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- == Info: About to connect() to 10.64.12.55 port 443 == Info: Trying 10.64.12.55... == Info: connected == Info: Connected to 10.64.12.55 (10.64.12.55) port 443 == Info: successfully set certificate verify locations: == Info: CAfile: D:\Source\CA.cer CApath: none == Info: SSLv3, TLS handshake, Client hello (1): <= Send SSL data, zd bytes (0xzx) zx: ...]..G..Z....)4U_9s......_..WBz ..~....6.9.8.5.......3.2./...f. zx: ....c.b.a.......e.d.`............ == Info: Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to 10.64.12.55:443 == Info: Closing connection #0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems that client have send 'client' hello message. So at first we think maybe there are something between our client and server cut the connection off. So we use ethereal to catch the network tracfic on port 443. But the result surprised all of us. Ethereal can't catch anything but tcp's handshake. BTW: There is another https server, which is also use openssl, in this computer. It work in LAN environment with its client. Its secure channel work fine. Our server is out of the LAN.
The "Unknown SSL protocol error" was printed by libcurl, it use SSL_connect to setup the secure channel, but SSL_connect return error and libcurl get nothing when it try to retrieve detail error message from openssl. so it print "unknown ssl protocol error". 2008/4/2, David Schwartz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > > > Our program that use openssl can't work normally with > > 'https' protocol.
