Hi all,

I've encountered a strange issue. It might not be related to OpenSSL itself,
but maybe it is.

When sending a Client Hello message that's larger than 270 bytes (not sure
what the exact limit is, 255 maybe?), lots of servers on the internet don't
send back any Server Hello, but keep the connection open, so my client ends
up returning a timeout.
It's really weird, has anyone seen that behavior ?
You can get to a 275 byte client hello for example by using OpenSSL 1.0.0.d
with a TLS1 hello, all the cipher suites explicitly enabled
'ALL:NULL:@STRENGTH', and a non empty session ID field.
Then feel free to test it on Facebook.
Does anyone know what's going on there ?

Thanks,


Alban Diquet
