Summary: libcurl built with gnutls ignores a rehandshake request

Initial Comment:
I have a small python application which uses pycurl to
download my bank statements every week. I was using
pycurl 7.13 built with openssl until recently and the
application worked fine. A few days ago I upgraded the
pycurl and the libcurl packages to 7.15.0
(pycurl.version reports 'libcurl/7.15.0 GnuTLS/1.2.8
zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.5.18') and now my application fails
with this message:

* GnuTLS recv error (-37): Rehandshake was requested by
the peer.
* Empty reply from server
* Connection #0 to host www2.auth.net.hsbc.com left intact
Traceback (most recent call last):
.......................................
pycurl.error: (52, 'Peer closed the TLS connection')
* Closing connection #0

Looking at lib/gtls.c file, I found that the
Curl_gtls_recv function ignores a possible rehandshake
request from the server and returns an error, which
forces the server to drop the connection. Please
correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that a new
handshake should be issued if gnutls_record_recv()
returned GNUTLS_E_REHANDSHAKE.

If you think it is another libcurl problem, please file a
new bug report with all details you can figure out.

Thank you for the quick fix, it seems to help. This
particular request now succeeds. The whole application
still does not work, but it crashes somewhere else now.

Thanks for reporting! I just now committed a fix for this
case. Not in an elegant way, but hopefully at least working.

Yes, the man page for gnutls_record_recv() seems to agree
with you.
