Description Hedayat Vatankhah 2013-11-30 12:16:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
Today, I am unable to update my system using yum update. The reason is:

Could not get metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-19&arch=x86_64 error was
14: curl#35 - "Encountered end of file"


Using curl directly to get the link:
[hedayat@hedayat-lap ~]% curl -v "https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f19&arch=x86_64"
* About to connect() to mirrors.fedoraproject.org port 443 (#0)

curl: (35) Encountered end of file


Trying to download the link using wget results in an error too.

Firefox CAN open the link.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Comment 2 Hedayat Vatankhah 2013-12-01 08:19:06 UTC 
Yes, the title says it: it depends on 'where' you do this. (maybe some ISPs have this problem). However, from a single ISP I have this problem with Fedora curl/wget while I don't have this problem with Ubuntu wget. Also, Firefox in Fedora CAN access the link while curl/wget can't. (Maybe wget in Fedora uses a different backend for SSL connections than Ubuntu). 

Anyway, in "MY" network, firefox can access the link while curl/yum/wget can't. If you need any debugging information please tell me. Don't try to reproduce the bug on your side since it doesn't happen in most networks.
Comment 3 Hedayat Vatankhah 2013-12-02 07:13:04 UTC 
Additional info: wget https://gmail.com works fine. Maybe mirros.fedoraproject.org uses a special algorithms which is interrupted by some ISPs? But then, why Firefox still works? Does it fallback to weaker algorithms that CURL/Wget doesn't?
Comment 4 Kamil Dudka 2013-12-02 12:35:27 UTC 
Thanks for the report!  wget uses OpenSSL whereas curl and Firefox use NSS.  Did you try to connect using SSLv3?

$ curl -v --sslv3 "https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f19&arch=x86_64"

Could you please check which cipher-suite Firefox uses on the successful connection?

I am not sure whether Firefox provide such information by default, but the following add-on appeared helpful to me:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cipherfox/
Comment 5 Hedayat Vatankhah 2013-12-02 13:12:58 UTC 
Thank you for following up the report.

curl with --sslv3 works fine. curl with --sslv2 and --tlsv1 doesn't work. --tlsv1 reports the same error as running curl without any of these 3.


CipherFox shows RC4 128bit , RSA 4098 bit:SHA1
Comment 6 Kamil Dudka 2013-12-02 16:34:33 UTC 
curl implements a fallback to SSLv3 based on the error code returned from NSS, but it does not trigger on PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR:

https://github.com/bagder/curl/commit/571309dc

Elio, why are we getting PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR from the handshake failure?
Comment 7 Elio Maldonado Batiz 2014-08-18 17:45:39 UTC 
Please see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106865#c32 and subsequent comments.
Comment 8 Kamil Dudka 2014-08-18 18:35:57 UTC 
Hedayat, could you please try to reproduce the bug with up2date curl and nss?
Comment 9 Hedayat Vatankhah 2014-09-01 18:39:37 UTC 
No, actually the internet connection intervention does not happen anymore and I can no longer check if curl will fallback to sslv3 since TLSV1 works fine now.
Comment 10 Kamil Dudka 2014-09-03 08:42:05 UTC 
Thank you for giving it a try!  I am closing the bug as we are not able to trigger it any more.  Feel free to reopen the bug if it occurs again.
