Re: Problems with slrn and nss-compat-ossl

For testing purposes I have compiled slrn with gnutls- and
openssl-support.

With gnutls 2.8.5 I cannot make SSL connections at all, slrn
fails with the following error messages:
----8<----
Failed to initialize server
Reason:
slrn fatal error:
Failed to initialize server.
---->8----

----8<----
Unexpected error: SSL connection closed

A TLS fatal alert has been received.

SSL_connect failed

slrn fatal error:
Failed to initialize server.
---->8----

Using OpenSSL SSL connections work flawlessly.  So it seems that
both gnutls- and nss-support is broken which is very unfortunate
since it means that it is not possible to get a
redistributable binary package of slrn with working SSL support.
