Subject: [Caml-list] OCamlnet: handling TLS-errors
Date: Mon, 02 Jul 2018 01:29:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180702012943.Horde.jlAWicnynJ1OLBwxZ2e3814@webmail.in-berlin.de> (raw)

Hello,

how to handle TLS-errors in OCamlnet?

To be more specific on what the problem is:
in some rare cases, accessing websites with OCamlnet throws the error  
GNUTLS_E_PREMATURE_TERMINATION.

For security-sensible applications aborting the access would be best.
In the use-case that I have, the TLS-error is not a problem, the data  
is not security-sensitive.
(Webbrowsers just ignore this error and display the webpage without mourning.)

What I want to do is, to access the data that was already read and use it.
So I want to just "ignore"/"catch" the TLS-error.

How to do that in OCamlnet?

Is it necessary to write my own TLS-provider?
And how would that look like?

Regards,
   Oliver
