RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Bob, I guess the link Elio posted answers your question. The latest curl in Fedora Rawhide provides an option to enable TLS > 1.0, but does not enable it by default.
It´s nice if this is now possible in Rawhide, but i see this also as an urgent bug in RHEL.
Especially since OpenSSL already has TLS > 1 implemented, but unfortunately most of the tools on RHEL machines are using NSS - especially curl.
So it makes no sense to me that RHEL 6.5 includes support for TLS > 1 servers but only a couple of clients on RHEL machines can connect to this servers.

If you want to increase the chance of having the enhancement included in RHEL, please contact the product support. Bugzilla is only a bug tracking tool and RHEL updates are driven by customer requests.
