Hello Joe,
 I the test case was not correct. The call (from server) to
gnutls_rehandshake will only notify the client about a rehandshake.
After that a call to gnutls_handshake is required. Once I do this the
test case works correctly (i've also committed it).

To debug (1 - gnutls-cli log output from testing using httpd/mod_ssl)
you might need some output from mod_ssl as well. There the server
notifies the client about a rehandshake, the client starts the handshake
by sending client hello and the server replies with an alert.

regards,
Nikos
