> Are we suppose to have to tell CURL which SSL version we are requesting or is it suppose to figure that out on it's own?
In theory you don't have to specify the SSL version, for example I can do "curl https://www.google.com"; or "curl https://launchpad.net"; just fine. In this case the problem (i.e. the site you are requesting stopped working) is caused by the fact that OpenSSL v1.0.1 added support for TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 few week ago and apparently your server doesn't know how to do an SSL handshake properly. It happens with very old and broken SSL implementations, but there's nothing I or curl can do about it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971702 Title: Unknown SSL protocol error in connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/curl/+bug/971702/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
