methods: https: handle requests for TLS re-handshake #93
Conversation
When accessing repository protected by TLS mutual auth, apt may receive a "re-handshake" request from the server, which must be handled in order for download to proceed. This situation arises when the server requests a client certificate based on the resource path provided in the GET request, after the inital handshake in UnwrapTLS() has already occurred, and a secure connection has been established. This issue has been observed with Artifactory-backed Debian repository. To address the issue, split TLS handshake code out into its own method in TlsFd, and call it when GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE error is received. Signed-off-by: Michael Zhivich <mzhivich@akamai.com>
Thanks a lot! I'll have a closer look soon but from a quick peek it looks good! |

I cherry-picked this into my 1.8.y branch, going to run some tests and do a 1.8.2 soon. |

@mzhivich Do you perhaps know an rasy way to perform some simple local testing of the change? |
@julian-klode Given all the cert setup required, I'm not sure there's an easy way to test this locally. I have tested it internally against our TLS protected repositories (one that requires TLS re-handshake, and one that does not), and both cases appear to work. To test this locally, you'd need:
It may be possible to rig up something using gnutls-serv; however, I'm not sure if it's easy to make it do a 2nd handshake instead of requiring client cert during connection establishment. |
