[Jessie-discuss] Compression failed exception on Jessie client when connecting to Jessie server

[Martin Egholm Nielsen]

Hi,

In the attempt to find a bug, I tried using Jessie in my client-side 
application, as well.
I didn't succeed in that, so I turned to the two examples, testclient 
and testserver, and tried getting those two to talk together.
The only modifications to the two examples are commenting out the 
"jessie.entropy.source" property (since I'm running under Windows), and 
adding the server-side property:

Security.setProperty("jessie.key.dh.group", "5");

to get around those extremely long BigInteger calculations.

Nevertheless, I always get the following exception from the client app.:

Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLException: compression failed
	at org.metastatic.jessie.provider.GNUSecurityParameters.encrypt(Unknown 
Source)
        at org.metastatic.jessie.provider.RecordOutputStream.write(Unknown 
Source)
	at org.metastatic.jessie.provider.SSLSocketOutputStream.write(Unknown 
Source)
	at org.metastatic.jessie.provider.SSLSocketOutputStream.write(Unknown 
Source)
        at testclient.main(testclient.java:127)


which is the first line writing something to the stream:

    out.write("GET / HTTP/1.0\n\n".getBytes());

Any ideas why this is happening?

(This is with Jessie 1.0.1, GNU-Crypto 2.1.0 RC1, and Java 1.5.0_03 
under W32)
