nginx http_spdy_module

Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but it looks like even though --with-http_spdy_module was used while compiling the current nginx RPM, it was compiled against a pre 1.0.1 OpenSSL library, meaning it doesn't have NPN compatibility ?

Code: Select all

# openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e 11 Feb 2013
# service nginx reload
nginx: [warn] nginx was built without OpenSSL NPN support, SPDY is not enabled

EL6 didnt include openssl 1.0.1 until yesterday, so it wasnt possible to compile against a newer version of openssl - the library would not have existed on the system. And EL5 does not include openssl 1.0.1 at all.

That makes sense. I was just confused since spdy support was compiled in. I needed/wanted ECC support, so I compiled my own OpenSSL libraries and didn't keep track of what was in Base or Atomicorp so when I noticed it there yesterday, I just assumed it has been available for a while.

The reason you dont want to do that is you lose your FIPS-140-2 cert when you modify openssl
