Bug Description
[Impact]
* TLSv1.3 (which is enabled by default) connections are getting killed instead of succeeding negotiation.
[Test Case]
* Create lighttpd server, attempt to connect via tlsv1.3
* Connection should succeed.
Sample lighttpd.conf:
server.port = 443
ssl.engine = "enable"
ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/
Where server.pem is concat of snakeoil cert + private key.
Attempting curl to lighttpd results in:
# curl --cacert /etc/ssl/
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
# grep 'killing' /var/log/

Upgrade to new lighttpd, repeat curl, and now get the download of the home-page:
# curl --cacert /etc/ssl/

[Regression Potential]
* TLSv1.3 connections attempt client renegotiation when they should not, as that's not supported anymore. Currently, connections are getting killed instead of succeeding. This change is a backport from a later v1.4 series point release, hence the file paths don't match the original and variables are renamed, however, the affected codepath appears to still be the same-ish. Hence the patch should be review for rebase correctness as there is room for error in handling client renegotiation with prior tls versions.

Perhaps problem with TLS v1.3 negotiation? (And the version of lighttpd is too old to have the ssl.openssl.

Simply rebuilding the source deb against the new libraries isn't enough to make it work.

To eliminate further downtime, I built/installed lighttpd 1.4.54 which resolved the problem.

Got that issue too.
All site using https were down.
Temporary solution is to define `ssl.disable-
But it's not safe.
