Hi there,
I'm currently chasing a rather weird problem. We've got a Java based
program to connect to a Webshop (for importing/exporting data). Of
course, we use SSL. (Webshop is on a webspace, client is behind DSL.)
It used to work(tm) but somehow stopped working - the program could not
access the Webshop anymore. Accessing by browser (from same machine)
works.
It's getting stranger... there's a proxy inbetween which is used by the
Java app. I'm ssh-ing to the proxy machine (an OpenSUSE box, running
kernel 2.6.27.56), I use lynx - it works. I use wget - it works.
For testing, I made a very simple program which basically does
new URL("https://my-url/").openConnection();
and copies everything to stdout. Now the request just gets stuck.
So I take a traffic dump, load it into Wireshark and see (sorry for the
long lines):

The FIN,ACK gets sent when I press CTRL-C to abort the program.
I captured all traffic going to the server (tcpdump ... host 188.40.t.srv).
It looks like the TCP session gets stuck at packet 13. I don't know
where to look next or whom to ask.
I checked that the following things work:
- access $url via Browser, lynx and wget
- access $url via said Java program via several other internet
connections (other DSL providers, from other servers located at a
certain hoster)
After all, I can rule out:
- fundamental Java/Server/SSL issue (because Java program works with
same Java version on other system)
- fundamental network issue (because other browsers work)
Funny thing is, it worked once today - even though I didn't change
anything.
Any hints?
Thanks,
Tino.
PS: I found someone with a very similar problem:
http://seclists.org/wireshark/2010/Jun/85 but no anwer nor solution (and
he's getting Dup ACKs at least while I'm only seeing a DUP ACK after
connection is closed.)
