[gnutls-dev] Small bug in SRP

Hash: SHA1

Hi.

I think, from what I know of SRP, that the function _gnutls_calc_srp_u
should return an MPI of the hash result, which is in the variable `hd',
not `holder'. Patch is:

With this patch my own in-progress Java implementation of TLS can
negotiate an SRP secret properly with a GnuTLS client. So maybe,
perhaps, possibly, this is the right way to do it (the Internet Draft
being light on details).

(Incidentally, the example SRP parameter files do not seem to contain a
prime modulus, which the implementation of SRP I am using rejects.)

Cheers,
