Hello, Enabling zlib compression in stunnel (versions 4.06 - 4.10) does not work under windows. I have tried a combination of the following, all of which have failed in either two ways. The first way being disconnection with the following messages in the stunnel console: 2005.06.09 11:43:10 LOG7[4072:3088]: SSL alert (write): fatal: decompression failure 2005.06.09 11:43:10 LOG3[4072:3088]: SSL_read: 1408F06B: error:1408F06B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:bad decompression Or stunnel crashes all together. Here are the following combinations I've used with stunnel and openssl. stunnel 4.06 w/ all zlib binary openssl libraries stunnel 4.07 w/ all zlib binary enabled openssl libraries stunnel 4.08 w/ all zlib binary enabled openssl libraries stunnel 4.09 w/ all zlib enabled openssl libraries stunnel 4.10 w/ all zlib enabled openssl libraries stunnel 4.06 w/ custom compiled openssl 0.9.7g w/ zlib library under vc++ stunnel 4.07 w/ custom compiled openssl 0.9.7g w/ zlib library under vc++ stunnel 4.08 w/ custom compiled openssl 0.9.7g w/ zlib library under vc++ stunnel 4.09 w/ custom compiled openssl 0.9.7g w/ zlib library under vc++ stunnel 4.10 w/ custom compiled openssl 0.9.7g w/ zlib library under vc++ Under linux, using stunnel as a client, compression works correctly. On the server I have tried stunnel versions: stunnel 4.06 w/ zlib openssl 0.9.7g and openssl 0.9.7f stunnel 4.09 w/ zlib openssl 0.9.7g and openssl 0.9.7f stunnel 4.10 w/ zlib openssl 0.9.7g and openssl 0.9.7f Any help would be appreciated. We offer stunnel connections as a service to our clients to reduce the overhead of NNTP traffic and we would very much like to get compression working. Thanks for your time, Ben
