HTTPS/SSL RSS feeds not updating / 'Red X' in versions >2.9.7

Post by mbs »

Anyone else getting the behavior that HTTPS/SSL RSS feeds just don't work/update in the newest versions, and you get a red X by the feed?  These newest versions work ok for RSS over HTTP for me but all HTTPS feeds fail.

I sniffed the network traffic and found that the client seems to immediately inexplicably FIN the connection after the handshake.  I compared it to a web browser connecting to the exact same server and the TCP handshake is identical except for the ephemeral port.  The web browser proceeds to initiate the SSL session with the client hello section, but qbt just FINs out the connection.

I can confirm that HTTPS RSS feeds don't work with my builds. I am currently investigating why.

I solved the problem. I wasn't correctly linking in openssl. The fix will probably come with the next release.

I solved it some days after I uploaded rc5... I will contact Chris and ask him if its ok to replace the installers with the fix or I should make new installer version.
