Hi,

I cannot access https://emacswiki.org/ from my N900 (running stable CSSU).

A local certificate problem or is it a general N900 browsing issue? Other sites seem to be working fine.

That page is using a letsencrypt certificate. I'm not sure Maemo5 included the relevant root certificate.

Would be a good candidate for CSSU...

N9, too.

Sorry for possible hi-jacking:
As well as I cannot open https://talk.maemo.org on my N9 (which should be a different issue).

https://www.archlinux.org is also using letsencrypt and works fine. So I assume it is not the root cause.

Is there a workaround for this problem?
Emacswiki.org is one of the best sources for Emacs related info, tutorials, example code, configurations etc and it would be nice to be able to browse it with my N900.

Edit:

Someone with the same error on OSX mentioned updating openssl as solution. Just checked my version and it is 0.9.8zh-1+maemo1+0m5+0cssu0

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/shammer/20160216/p1

brew update
brew upgrade openssl
sudo mv /usr/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl.0.9.8zg
brew link openssl --force
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl

"Solved" the connection issue by storing the website offline. Used HTTrack to copy it and chose Mirror Web Site (412 MB).
Works fine with eww (use eww-open-file), searching the local data doesn't work though so can only be used for browsing.

Still hope someone will provide a better solution for this problem.

At a cursory glance, the issue seems to be related to the fact that emacswiki.org supports only TLS1.1 and TLS1.2 - for comparison, archlinux.org supports TLS1.0, TLS1.1 and TLS1.2. Combining this with the fact that my Nokia N9 sports an ancient libssl 0.9.8r (which does support up to TLS 1.0) means that I cannot establish a connection to emacswiki.

If the above is correct, then the solution is indeed to bump up the openssl version to something more reasonable (fixing many security vulns at the same time).

As a side note, while many could argue that not connecting to emacswiki is not the end of the world, not supporting TLS 1.1 and up could be a very severe issue for at least the N9...

Sounds reasonable.
But would that also explain then non-possible connection from N9 browser to https://talk.maemo.org? (whereas https://maemo.org works fine with grob)

It looks like we are dealing with two separate issues here. Talk.maemo.org is accessible via other browsers (checked with Firefox here) and:

Another workaround is installing an alternative OS. I tried it with Iceweasel on Easy Debian and no problem to access any of the aforementioned sites.
