Thunderbird stalls when an IMAPS server doesn't support resume

2013-04-09 Thread TIAGO ALVES
Hi folks,

I sent the following message to dev-apps-thund and, as I didn't
receive any reply, I realized that it could be worth try to discuss
this issue here.

I am facing problems when using Thuderbird to acess my "old" imap
server (uw-imap).

After upgrading from an old thunderbird version, the interaction with
my imapS server became unstable.

It seems that the latest version 17.0.5 tries to resume the SSL
session (sending a SSL Hello with a previous session number) and keep
retransmitting it trying to resume the conection. At this point, the
app stalls and the only way to keep the interaction with the imap
server is to close and open thunderbird again. In this way, a brand
new one session is stablished.

Is anyone facing this kind of problem?
Also, Is possible to have (in newer thunderbird version) a configure
option to handle these old servers? The idea is to allow the user to
configure app in such a way that, instead of resuming a SSL (imaps)
conection, the app would start a new connection.

Thanks in advance,
Tiago

ps.: After analyzing the capture of an older thunderbird (2.0)
version, the app seems to initialize a new session every time it has
to interact to the imap server.

Hi Wan-Teh,

Thank you for your response!

It seems that OASIS PCKS #11 working group has as a goal the
"Development of PKCS #11 Test Cases documentation".

I will follow the work group activities.

Best regards,
Tiago

NSS - PKCS #11 Test Suites build problems (2013)

2013-02-15 Thread TIAGO ALVES
Dear Members,

I saw previous messages that reported build problems in the NSS - PKCS
#11 Test Suites.

I would like to know if those issues have already been addressed?

I am using a Win32 platform (msvc2008) and the mozilla-build environment.
I managed to compile the latest nss+nspr release and also to run the
tests (./all.sh), however I believe that the testing procedure didn't
addressed pkcs#11.

I entered the pkcs11 directory in the tests tree and tried to compile
pk11test, and the MSVC (cl) compiler complained about missing symbols
(defined in other nss libraries). I read a very similar problem in the
Unix platform in previous posts.

My interests are in pkcs#11 soft-tokens and I would like to evaluate
my implementation using the tests provided by the nss source, and,
then, to test my token in the mozilla browser.

Thanks in advance!
