<div dir="ltr">I'm running into a lot of the same error as was reported in the forum at: <a href="http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2013-October/004385.html">http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2013-October/004385.html</a><div>
<br></div><div>> SSL: error:1408F119:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac<br><div><br></div><div>I've got an nginx server doing front-end SSL, with the upstream also over SSL and also nginx (fronting Apache). They're all running 1.5.13 (all Precise 64-bit), so I can goof with various options like ssl_buffer_size. These are running SSL-enabled web sites for my customers.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm curious if there is any workaround for this besides patching openssl, as mentioned a couple of weeks ago in <a href="http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/215">http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/215</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>In the wake of heartbleed, I'm not super excited about rolling my own openssl/libssl packages (and straying from easy updates), but I also need to put a lid on these SSL errors. I've also not tested yet to verify that the openssl patch fixes my issue (wanted to check here first).</div>
<div><br></div><div>Like the forum notes, they seem to happen just in larger files (I've not dug extensively, but every one that I've seen is usually at least a 500k file). I've also noticed that if I request *just* the file, it seems to succeed every time. It's only when it's downloading a number of other files that it seems to occur. On a lark, I tried turning off front-end keepalives but that didn't make any difference. I've been playing with the ssl_buffer_size on both the frontend (which is where the errors show up) and the upstream servers to see if there was a magic combination, but no combo makes things happy.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Am I doomed to patch openssl?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks!</div></div></div>
