Re: [tlslite-users] tlslite.errors.TLSAbruptCloseError on connect

[T <tr...@tr...>]

Hi Kees,

The server is closing the socket after receiving a Client Hello.  I tried
sending it different Client Hello options (offering different versions and
cipher suites), but it would always close the connection or sometimes return
a handshake_failure alert.

Maybe the server only accepts SSL v2 Client Hello messages?  That's a very
obsolete format - SSL v2 is insecure.  You can use a v2 Client Hello message
and upgrade to SSL 3 / TLS, but it would be weird for a server to only
handle v2 Client Hello messages.

I'll try to upgrade tlslite to send v2 Client Hello messages in the next
week or two, and let you know if that works.

Trevor
