[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#747470: openssl s_client refuses to be silent

[Benny Baumann]

Source: openssl
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream

Under some circumstances you want openssl s_client to be absolutely silent
about what its doing. Unfortunately the -quiet option available does not
suppress the verification messages of the certificate when the connection
is established.

Howto reproduce:
    openssl s_client -connect host.example.com:443 -quiet

Expected behaviour:
    netcat with crypto and no output on stderr

Actual behaviour:
    netcat with crypto and certificate verification messages spammed into stderr

Kind regards,
Benny Baumann
