Bug#748740: More information...

[Rajesh Deo]

I am getting connection failures to SSL servers with self-signed
certificates

but behavior is a bit different

I tried out the following test from earlier reports:

------------------
$ env -i PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME=0 PERL_LWP_SSL_CA_PATH=/ \ GET
https://www.debian.org/

Can't connect to www.debian.org:443

Network is unreachable at /usr/share/perl5/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 41.
-------------------

With the above, I get same result as above.

But if I set PERL_LWP_SSL_CA_PATH=/etc/ssl/certs the page is retrieved
successfully.

I am running libio-socket-ssl-perl 1.988-1

The same does not work for *different port numbers* e.g. 23456

That is instead of https://www.debian.org/, I use
https://127.0.0.1:23456/it failes with just "Can't connect to ..."
error, the second error "Network
is unreachable ..." is not shown.

It only works for the default port 443.

Can someone shed more light on this?
