Hello all,

I try to connect an openssl client to a ssl server.
I use the tool openssl s_client.

I use the -msg option in order to qsee the different messages exchanged during
the SSL connexion.

My purpose is to generate an SSL alert message by the client.
Hence I use a trustees file in client side so that the signature verification is
performed with a wrong result , which is the case (see the stream below:
SSL-Session:
    Protocol  : SSLv3
    Cipher    : AES256-SHA
    Session-ID: 2DC601DF4A25DA207C2193AF896846BD1B0FD16B63255BD724E0E07759E66DD6
    Session-ID-ctx:
    Master-Key:
AD37549969C6E77AD69954D614F452DFC2EE5670610190AAA8C2E2F08FDCEB84DCC12AF6ADF83C9040C165CBC6121E57
    Key-Arg   : None
    Start Time: 1195662480
    Timeout   : 7200 (sec)
    Verify return code: 7 (certificate signature failure)

Neverthless, I do not see any SSL alert sent by the client to the server in the
traces ...

My question is : why don't we have an SSL alert message sent by the client to
the server ? Is there an option in openssl s_client I should use ?

Here is the command line I have used for my test:
openssl s_client -connect localhost:8890 -CAfile trustees.pem -showcerts -state
-ssl3 -bugs -msg

Thank you in advance for your help,
