improve gnutls-cli-debug testing of old SSL 3.0 servers

Merged Daniel Lenski requested to merge (removed):better_SSL3.0_tests into master Mar 23, 2020
  • Overview 3
  • Pipelines 0
  • Changes 4

As far as I can tell, SSL 3.0 as described in RFC6101 does not require any support for TLS extensions.

This MR modifies gnutls-cli-debug to test servers for SSL 3.0 without extensions, and without including any newer-than-SSL 3.0 ciphersuites, before testing with extensions enabled, and with newer-than-SSL 3.0 ciphersuites enabled.

This prevents gnutls-cli-debug from incorrectly reporting a lack of SSL 3.0 support in some very old, but seemingly standards-compliant, servers. (See #958 (closed) for an example.)
