These days, such a response is far more likely to signify a server-side problem, such as fork failure. Reporting "server does not support SSL" (in sslmode=require) could be quite misleading. But the results could be even worse in sslmode=prefer: if the problem was transient and the next connection attempt succeeds, we'll have silently fallen back to protocol version 2.0, possibly disabling features the user needs. Hence, it seems best to just eliminate the assumption that backing off to non-SSL/2.0 protocol is the way to recover from an "E" response, and instead treat the server error the same as we would in non-SSL cases. I tested this change against a pre-7.0 server, and found that there was a second logic bug in the "prefer" path: the test to decide whether to make a fallback connection attempt assumed that we must have opened conn->ssl, which in fact does not happen given an "E" response. After fixing that, the code does indeed connect successfully to pre-7.0, as long as you didn't set sslmode=require. (If you did, you get "Unsupported frontend protocol", which isn't completely off base given the server certainly doesn't support SSL.) Since there seems no reason to believe that pre-7.0 servers exist anymore in the wild, back-patch to all supported branches. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
