Bug #686
fails do connect to OFTC with SSL
0%
Description
this is reported by a debian user: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=526590
Quassel is not able to connect to OFTC when the SSL option in the
irc.oftc.net server configuration is enabled. Changing it from the
default of SSL3 to TLSv1 doesn't make a difference, either. The error
message which appears in the network window is:
[21:31:17] * Connecting to irc.oftc.net:6667...
[21:31:17] * Connection failure: Error during SSL
handshake:error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version
number
[21:31:17] * Connection failed. Cycling to next Server
OTOH, when using openssl's s_client works:
$ openssl s_client -connect irc.oftc.net:6697
[...]
SSL-Session:
Protocol : TLSv1
Cipher : AES256-SHA
[...]
or even asking for SSL3:
$ openssl s_client -connect irc.oftc.net:6697 -ssl3
[...]
SSL-Session:
Protocol : SSLv3
Cipher : AES256-SHA
[...]
but, when trying to use SSL2:
$ openssl s_client -connect irc.oftc.net:6697 -ssl2
CONNECTED
write:errno=104
I was able to reporduce this with the monolithic client as well

PONG! ;)
And sorry for the late reply.
OFTC offers regular IRC connections on port 6667 and for SSL enabled clients on port 6697 (see: http://www.oftc.net/oftc/ ).
So if you want to connect via SSL to OFTC you have to change the port number from 6667 to 6697. As each IRC network has different SSL ports we cannot change the port automatically when switching to SSL.

Oh - I'm sorry.
I didn't check the port number.
