Hello,
 If you are using gnutls 2.12.0 or later removing it is the right
option. That is because you disable the lowat functionality by calling
it as: gnutls_transport_set_lowat(gnutls_channel->session, 0).

I also see that you use the priority string
"NORMAL:!VERS-TLS1.1:!VERS-TLS1.0", which disables everything except
SSL 3.0. This is not the best balance between interoperability and
security. I'd suggest you follow the guidelines at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/html_node/Interoperability.html#Interoperability

regards,
Nikos
