could someone please explain what is going on here ...
I am trying to connect to a https site using curl from behind a firewall
(the results should be same regardles) - I believe that this could be a
limitation of the openssl library but I am not sure. I have checked the
packets using a sniffer what appears to be happening is that the server
responds back with a certificate as part of the handshaking protocol but the
ssl lib isn't recognising the response. Any insights would be appreciated.

please note I have removed proxy/user info from this log.
