#685 SSL connect error: gnutls_handshake() failed

[Nils Rottgardt]

Hi.

From today I am receiving the following error message. Perhaps this is somehow related to the installation of proftpd on my raspberry, because before ensiper is running fine. Any ideas what to change? With proftpd I found some posts about changing the SSL library to openssl.

Auction ---: Cannot connect to URL https://signin.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI
.dll?SignIn: SSL connect error: gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS fatal alert has
been received.

Hi.

Has to add that it sometime appears again but if I retry to start auction it sometimes is working. You can see it in the log file:

Any ideas what could cause this?

Some years ago we switched from a "hand-crafted" HTTP implementation to using libcurl because ebay required using HTTPS and cookies. I don't know in detail how SSL connections work.

Maybe it's related to gnutls vs. openssl? see bug #686 http://sourceforge.net/p/esniper/bugs/686/
