  • BinkP SSL Polling Failure

    From Avon@21:1/101 to g00r00 on Mon Mar 2 20:50:22 2020
    I did update the NET 2 HUB which is running Win/64 bit to

    v1.12 A46 Windows/64 Compiled 2020/03/01 15:37:21

    When I try to poll 1/100 from 2/100 I see this in the 2/100 logging

    and at 1/100 I see this in the MIS logs

    + 2020.03.02 20:23:22 BINKP Received connection; Negotiating (for up to 30 seconds)
    + 2020.03.02 20:23:24 BINKP Cannot activate (Client sent obsolete handshake for the insecure SSLv2 protocol)

    and

    I can see there is a copy of CL64.DLL that is version 3.4.3.0

    I'll try to update this to the one I am running at 1/100

    [time passes]

    Nope that didn't work

    The avove tests were using cl64.dll 3.4.4.1

    I then tried cl32.dll 3.4.4.1 and also no joy (I expected it not to, as it is
    a 64 bit version of Mystic NET 2 is using)

    Here's where it got interesting.

    I was stating port 24553 in the BinkP Hostname and SSL was set to yes.

    Then I removed the port from the BinkP Hostname and kept SSL to yes and tested again with the new c164.dll 3.4.4.1 and it worked.

    So there is something in this code that precludes a successful BinkP SSL session if the port is stated, but if it is not then the very same port
    (24553) does work when polling 1/100

    I was able to find the issue and I have fixed it. I am uploading a new prealpha build now which will include this fix.

    It also changes the "Crash Errors" tracker to reset to 0 every time it authenticates to an outbound BINKP connection. So its now officially the number of failed attempts since the last good attempt that is being tracked.

    And it adds the SSL connection message as per requested!

    I will test tonight when I get home - thanks!
