Hello,

I was using gnus to read my mails (IMAP + SSL) and news 
(NNTP) without any problem until my news provider updated 
the news server. NNTP is no longer supported and I have to 
use NNTP over SSL.

I've tried to change my conf as follow:

(setq gnus-select-method' 
 
                                        (nntp "news.epfl.ch" 
 
 

           (nntp-open-connection-function 
nntp-open-ssl-stream) 
 

           (nntp-port-number) 
 

           (nntp-address "news.epfl.ch")) 
 



But when i'm launching gnus, il says me
nntp (news.epfl.ch) open error: ''.  Continue? (y or n)

What should I try to debug that?

Network config seems a bit crazy for that server but 
thinderbird can handle that crazieness so i think it's not 
so important (look at the last steps):
