I installed openssl 0.9.7c. I installed mod_ssl's PEM file where lynx
can find it. [Howto verify: connection to https://www.ibm.com goes
without any warning.]
Now I try to connect to
https://mirbsd.bsdadvocacy.org:8890/active/cvsweb.cgi/src/etc/
(as mentined in one of [very unhelpful] openssl-setup advices).
I get a prompt
SSL error:unable to get local issuer certificate-Continue? (y)
If I answer no: connection succeeds. End of story.
If I answer yes: I'm presented with the same question again.
a) Why? The trace shows "connection without TSL". Should not the
prompt reflect the difference? Should not the difference be explained
somewhere?
b) If I answer yes: immediate segfault (in some non-trivial place,
like inside fopen())
c) If I answer no: half of the page is loaded, then I get a segfault.
d) And at the beginning of it all, the initial message is not very
helpful either. As my correspondent with Mozilla found, this place
*has* a certificate, but it is not chained to anything "standard", so
is not "trusted". Cannot a different message to be shown?
Very illiterate about SSL,
Ilya
P.S. README.sslcert is great! A lot of thanks! But maybe I will
have something better up the sleeve - especially if the
questions above are answered.
