Bug Description
HI,
during the development of my project testssl.sh users encountered a bug which was tracked down to the awkward situation that if the environment variable OPENSSL_CONF is defined in a certain way DNS resultion fails
Steps tp reproduce under 14.04 LTS:
--snip
prompt% export OPENSSL_
prompt% cat OPENSSL_CONF
# testssl config file for openssl
openssl_conf = openssl_def
[ openssl_def ]
engines = engine_section
[ engine_section ]
gost = gost_section
[ gost_section ]
engine_id = gost
default_algorithms = ALL
CRYPT_PARAMS = id-Gost28147-
prompt% host -t a testssl.sh
GOST engine already loaded
11-Sep-2015 18:30:58.591 ENGINE_by_id failed (crypto failure)
11-Sep-2015 18:30:58.591 error:2606A074:
prompt%
--snap
similar with nslookup or dig. See also https:/
Cheers, Dirk
