I am having trouble connecting to an Oracle webserver
using Openssl 0.9.6, but I seam to be able to connect
to any other server using https.  I am using Crypt::SSLeay 22,
but the problem seems to be openssl related rather that
Crypt related (I have problems within s_client also).
 
Having suspected ssl version connect problems, I have played
around with specifying an initial ssl version of both 3, and 2
in SSL.pm.  Ultimately, the same error gets produced no matter
what the setting is.  There are basically two unique things
about the server I can't connect to, they are:
 
1) The public key length is 512 Bits.
2) The server software is ver old.  It is using the
Oracle webserver version 2.1.1.  This is mainly because
versions 3.x and 4.x were terrible releases that never should
have gone into production, OWS 2.1.1 is mush more robust,
and faster.  Version 2.1 of the Oracle webserver is based
on Spyglass.
 
The error that I am getting is :
 
[dhenriks@www2 imc]$ perl getit.pl
ssl_version 23
SSL_connect:before/connect initialization
SSL_connect:SSLv2/v3 write client hello A
SSL_connect:SSLv2 read server hello A

Can't call method "request" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.

Any ideas ?  In a message in some other list I saw something
about setting SSL_VERIFY_NONE as a possible remedy, but
I'm not sure how to do this from within Crypt::SSLeay.
 
Thanks,
