Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to sourceforge.net...

I am trying to upgrade a package and when curl is trying to download, it hangs for a while until I get the following error..:

curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to sourceforge.net:443

Is this a known problem? Any workarounds?

Regards,

BTJ

Could you tell us the exact URL you are trying to access?

The URL is fine, I tried it in a browser so it looks like a curl problem...

But the URL is: https://sourceforge.net/projects/pacman … all.tar.gz

are you sure that url is direct? curl won't use redirectors like most gui browsers will afaik.

It seems to be related to TLS 1.2. I wonder if sourceforge is blocking it.

But what's strange is that I also have a computer at work running up 2 date Arch Linux and there I have no trouble with the same update.... :-|

Re: Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to sourceforge.net...

Check what MTU you are getting and if it is low, try setting it to 1500.

ip link show

Then if you are using interface wlan0, say:

ip link set wlan0 mtu 1500

EDIT: I only suggest this because many people getting a similar error for AUR found this worked.

My MTU is already set to 1500...

It's a bug (but whether it is openssl's fault is unknown).

That patch didn't fix the issue for me (trying to connect to Facebook with https using libcurl), but downgrading curl to 1.0.0g worked. Thanks for getting me looking down the right track.

Re: Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to sourceforge.net...

I was experiencing the same issue as reported, curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error.  I was able to get rid of it by reverting openssl from 1.0.1-2 -> 1.0.0.h-1.
