Hi, I was playing with ssldump for the data transferred b/w browser and Apache (2.0.48) - and realized that the Apache2 (+ mod_ssl) does not send the Alert message to the client before closing the connection.
-Madhu Here's the error_log output from Apache 1.3 (+ mod_ssl) [04/Feb/2004 12:06:12 06779] [trace] Inter-Process Session Cache: request=SET st tus=OK id=00DC164670004D3A4F68FE3E10C549F980304971125755C9A5E91DA8A363CD77 time out=300s (session caching) [04/Feb/2004 12:06:12 06779] [trace] OpenSSL: Handshake: done [04/Feb/2004 12:06:12 06779] [info] Connection: Client IP: 15.0.70.188, Protoco l: SSLv3, Cipher: RC4-MD5 (128/128 bits) [04/Feb/2004 12:06:13 06779] [debug] OpenSSL: read 0/18437 bytes from BIO#4008FF 60 [mem: 400EA6F8] (BIO dump follows) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [04/Feb/2004 12:06:13 06779] [debug] OpenSSL: write 23/23 bytes to BIO#4008FF60 [mem: 400F2F10] (BIO dump follows) +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 0000: 15 03 00 00 12 ff 44 58-11 7e f9 b8 91 aa 42 29 ......DX.~....B) | | 0010: ec 0d 56 22 06 8c 4a ..V"..J | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ [04/Feb/2004 12:06:13 06779] [trace] OpenSSL: Write: SSL negotiation finished su ccessfully [04/Feb/2004 12:06:13 06779] [info] Connection to child 0 closed with standard shutdown (server lugia:5443, client 15.0.70.188) **************************************************** Output from Apache 2.0 (+ mod_ssl) [Wed Feb 04 12:02:08 2004] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1682): Inter-Process Sess ion Cache: request=SET status=OK id=9938509B272D9C7231FE69A4BEAD969A0E265BABA44C 3738444C80BDC3440F7A timeout=300s (session caching) [Wed Feb 04 12:02:08 2004] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1840): OpenSSL: Handshake : done [Wed Feb 04 12:02:08 2004] [info] Connection: Client IP: 15.0.70.188, Protocol: SSLv3, Cipher: RC4-MD5 (128/128 bits) [Wed Feb 04 12:02:08 2004] [debug] ssl_engine_io.c(1510): OpenSSL: I/O error, 5 bytes expected to read on BIO#40251bb0 [mem: 402696b0] [Wed Feb 04 12:02:08 2004] [info] (70014)End of file found: SSL input filter rea d failed.
