IIUC what will happen in this case is that mod_ssl puts OpenSSL into the state where it expects a full handshake - if it receives any app_data packets OpenSSL treats thas a hard failure. And slso IIUC - this results in the server sending a ChangeCipherSpec message on the wire - and the client has no option to ignore that in TLS, right? joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
