Why does the curl throws an "SSL connect error" ?
Issue
- Curl throws an
sslerror :
[root@s2elsp3 ~]# /usr/bin/curl -k -XGET 'https://user:pass@localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty'
curl: (35) SSL connect error
[root@s2elsp3 curl-7.47.1]# /usr/bin/curl -V
curl 7.19.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.19.7 NSS/3.18 Basic ECC zlib/1.2.3 libidn/1.18 libssh2/1.4.2
Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap ldaps http file https ftps scp sftp
Features: GSS-Negotiate IDN IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz
- Compiling a newer version of curl against SSL and this works :
[root@s2elsp3 curl-7.47.1]# /usr/local/bin/curl -k -XGET 'https://user:password@localhost:9200/_cluster/health?pretty'
