Hi

I have a strange issue with stunnel 5.09 - which connects up to a F5 loadbalancer/SSL-offloading engine. In my config, I specify that the protocol must be TLSv1 - from Linux, I can connect - but it does not work from Windows..

Linux log:

The main difference I can see, is that on Linux I get:

2015.02.10 15:58:29 LOG6[22887]: SSL connected: previous session reused

Whereas Windows gives me:

2015.02.10 16:07:36 LOG7[7056]: Peer certificate was cached (1521 bytes) 2015.02.10 16:07:36 LOG6[7056]: SSL connected: new session negotiated

Any idea why this happens ? The final result is that connections are possible from linux - but not Windows - and this is a problem for me...
