Summary:                    mod_gnutls sending unrecognized alert description
code
Description: 
I've been testing seamonkey + NSS + SNI extension support against 
https://sni.corelands.com/ (a.k.a {one,two,three,four}.sni.corelands.com.

I've found that if the handshake doesn't complete in just a couple
seconds, the server sends a "fatal" TLS ALERT record bearning the 
description code 0xCE.  0xCE is not a known alert description in any
TLS RFC or ID that I've found.  Whassup with that?

I haven't been able to reproduce this using Opera.  Can you post the patch
that you are using for mozilla?

I also upgraded the sni test server to gnutls 1.3.5 last night....
Hopefully I can get around to creating updated certificates soon.

sni.corelands.com:443 now seems to be behaving as an http (not https)
server,
sending out an html page in response to any SSL3/TLS client hello. 
I hope it will come back to being an sni test page, even if it continues 
to use expired certs.

I have upgraded GnuTLS to 1.4.0 -- although it does appear to now be
crashing sometimes.
