  • binkd outbound SSL on Windows

    From Warpslide@618:500/23.2 to All on Thursday, July 14, 2022 16:15:20
    Hi All,

    I've been playing around with hpt & binkd on both linux & windows. I found a helpful thread where Oli provided some info on how to make outbound connections via TLS with binkd & opensll (thanks Oli!):

    http://web.synchro.net/?page=001-forum.ssjs&sub=binkd&thread=7199

    node 1:229/664 -pipe "openssl s_client -quiet -alpn binkp -connect *H:*I" bbs.nrbbs.net:24553

    This works great on linux but not on my Telegard system under windows:

    C:\TELEGARD\BINKD>binkd -vpP 1:229/664 binkd.ini
    17:02 [3540] BEGIN standalone, binkd/1.1a-115/Win32 -vpP 1:229/664
    binkd.ini
    17:02 [3540] creating a poll for 1:229/664@fidonet (`d' flavour)
    17:02 [3540] clientmgr started
    $ -d 1:229/664@fidonet
    + 17:02 [5900] call to 1:229/664@fidonet

    And it just stops there. In order to be able to poll again I have to go and clean up the outbound directory otherwise it just says "outbound queue is empty" and won't even try.

    Yet I have opensll installed and included in the path:

    C:\TELEGARD\BINKD>openssl s_client -quiet -alpn binkp -connect bbs.nrbbs.net:24553
    depth=0 CN = bbs.nrbbs.net
    verify error:num=18:self signed certificate
    verify return:1
    depth=0 CN = bbs.nrbbs.net
    verify return:1

    Under linux it works:

    [...]

    Under windows it never gets to the "External command" part. Anyone have any ideas?

    ... Thanks for explaining the word "many" to me, it means a lot
