No, this is only with some implementations. What differs, I do not know⦠maybe offered algorithms, or use of thread-local storage (which has syscall penalty on arches without a spare register, such as x86âs GS segment register, to use). When wget was switched from OpenSSL to GnuTLS (which I still consider a huge mistake) it no longer worked with most servers. (I have not checked whether this is still the case; I think there was a change in src:gnutls26 partially mitigating it later, and I didnât look at src:gnutls28 at all yet.) But then: yes, some systems are too slow for SSL with some other systems⦠for example, my home server (x86) does not connect with servers using 5120R or larger keys, 4096R is fine though (even with m68k). bye, //mirabilos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
