Related to this... gnutls-cli currently does not break connection and
exit when handshake error occurs during server-requested renegotiation
(check_rehandshake() only prints rehandshake result).
This can be tested as:
$ gnutls-cli -p 666 ssltls.de
...
- Simple Client Mode:
GET /otherciphers/ HTTP/1.0
*** Non fatal error: Rehandshake was requested by the peer.
*** Received rehandshake request
*** Fatal error: Safe renegotiation failed.
*** Rehandshake Failed.
No handshake_failure alert is sent, connection is not terminated.
