Debugging SSL connection problems?

[PaulC]

I'm having a problem where a call to SSL_connect() fails to establish a connection to some servers with the error: SSL_ERROR_FAILED_NEGOTIATION

So for example, this will fail when I run it on my PK70:

Code: Select all

IPADDR serverIP;
int resp = GetHostByName( "www.netburner.com", &serverIP, 0, TICKS_PER_SECOND*2 );

if (resp==DNS_OK)
{
   int fds = SSL_connect( serverIP, 0, 443, TICKS_PER_SECOND*4, 0 );
   iprintf( "Response = %d", fds );
}

However, if I change the server to something like www.google.com it works fine. So my question is: how would I go about tracking down this error? There doesn't seem to be any detailed debugging information available from the SSL library -?

Note: I have certificate checking disabled (ie: NB_SSL_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE_CHECKING_ENABLED is undefined).

It also works fine from my PC (ie: curl -k -v https://www.netburner.com)


Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

I believe wireshark can be used to determine what is going on. If a certificate is involved, you can even refer to it in wireshark and it will do the decoding.

Is the code you posted really what you are running? Are you trying to make a ssl connection to www.netburner.com? How do you know that is even supported by that web site?
