Hi,
im trying to use curl to download a document, the document is protected by
an iChain authentication server ( http://www.novell.com/products/ichain/ )
which uses an FORM-based/POST HTTPS authentication mechanism.

Curl connects nicely to the server and POSTs but the server does not return
any data ("Empty reply from server").

Posting the same data with Mozilla/Firebird or IE works just fine.

Also note that when trying to GET a document from the same HTTPS server i
don't get any response. This time it isn't an empty response, there is
simply no data returned - curl waits "forever" ( until it gets curl: (56)
SSL read: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), errno 10054, which i
guess is some firewall cutting of a connection it belives is idle)

Getting/posting to other HTTPS sites works just fine.

It seems as if curl does "dislike" the HTTPS implementation of iChain. Has
anybody else experienced this problem with the iChain auth-server?

TIA

Jan Sundin
