Slow night so I learned a little about SSL and figured this out. The following patch does two things. First it switches the ssl method back to SSLv23 so pre-7.3 SSL clients will work with new databases. I made the switch in both the client and the server, but the server change is all you really need. The second is to ignore the SSL syscall error when n is 0 since that means EOF. This fixes both of my problems, hope it works for everyone else too. --Nate diff -ur postgresql-7.3/src/backend/libpq/be-secure.c postgresql-7.3.patched/src/backend/libpq/be-secure.c --- postgresql-7.3/src/backend/libpq/be-secure.c Thu Nov 7 12:47:08 2002 +++ postgresql-7.3.patched/src/backend/libpq/be-secure.c Mon Dec 9 23:47:45 2002 @@ -288,7 +288,8 @@ case SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ: break; case SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL: - elog(ERROR, "SSL SYSCALL error: %s", strerror(errno)); + if (n == -1) + elog(ERROR, "SSL SYSCALL error: %s", strerror(errno)); break; case SSL_ERROR_SSL: elog(ERROR, "SSL error: %s", SSLerrmessage()); @@ -585,7 +586,7 @@ { SSL_library_init(); SSL_load_error_strings(); - SSL_context = SSL_CTX_new(TLSv1_method()); + SSL_context = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_method()); if (!SSL_context) { postmaster_error("failed to create SSL context: %s", diff -ur postgresql-7.3/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure.c postgresql-7.3.patched/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure.c --- postgresql-7.3/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure.c Thu Nov 7 12:47:08 2002 +++ postgresql-7.3.patched/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-secure.c Mon Dec 9 23:42:40 2002 @@ -712,7 +712,7 @@ { SSL_library_init(); SSL_load_error_strings(); - SSL_context = SSL_CTX_new(TLSv1_method()); + SSL_context = SSL_CTX_new(SSLv23_method()); if (!SSL_context) { printfPQExpBuffer(&conn->errorMessage, Only in postgresql-7.3.patched/src/interfaces/libpq: fe-secure.c~ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
