  • http error not caught

    From [email protected]@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 26 16:08:38 2022
    Hello,

    I noticed something that looks like a bug in the http package. When
    trying to fetch a url, if the url exists but is not configured for
    https, then a catch {http::geturl ...} will still create a pop-up error
    window from inside a catch command. This happens despite registering
    the tls socket. It says "Application Error" with the message "SSL
    channel "sock05860970": error: tlsv1 alert internal error", with the bug
    being that the catch did not catch it. I hope the description is clear.


    package req http
    package req tls
    tls::init -tls1 1 -tls1.1 1 -tls1.2 1
    http::register https 443 [list ::tls::socket]

    # no error if protocol is http
    # error if protocol is https
    catch { http::geturl $host_with_no_https }

    May you try the -timeout option.

    Thank you. No, it did not make a difference.
