httpd vs TLS
I wanted to update the httpd running on wip.pkgsrc.org to one that
supports https redirects.
So I copied the httpd directory from -current to wip (running NetBSD
7), built there and installed it.
Then I tried connecting to https://wip.pkgsrc.org and firefox went haywire.
First I got this:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/what-does-your-connection-is-not-secure-mean?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=how-resolve-weak-crypto-error-messages-firefox
then I allowed it to "connect to wip.pkgsrc.org using outdated
security" or something, and then it switched to
"Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to wip.pkgsrc.org. The server rejected the handshake because the client downgraded to a lower TLS version than the server supports. Error code: SSL_ERROR_INAPPROPRIATE_FALLBACK_ALERT
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

"
I've now replaced it with the NetBSD 7 version of httpd, which doesn't
throw these warnings.
Please choose the default SSL settings for httpd in such a way that it
can be used without throwing errors in firefox.
Thanks,
Thomas
