Cannot upload GfxBench2D results to HDRLab

I tried to upload GfxBench2D results to HDRLab but got this error (tried several times):

Uploading results failed with exception (35): ERROR: Search query (https://hdrlab.org.nz/api/v1/Benchmark ... 020%20%28E5500%20core%29&) failed with error: SSL connect error.

Does uploading work for other users, or is there some problem at HDRLab's site?

@Gregor

Its probably because of the old version of curllib that cant connect to the server as it uses a newer tls version.

@Gregor

There has been a recent update to liburl and curl, have you tried that?
http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... /library/misc/libcurl.lha

Thanks... I had a look on the libcurl.lha, but could not understand at all how it is installed. It looked to me it is for the SDK which I do not have...

Where should the libcurl be, if there is already an earlier version?

@Gregor

libcURL is for developers, i simply added it because it's part of the package.

I'm not sure, but it seems as, GFXBench2D uses cURL (the binary command) to upload it's data, so it should be sufficient to replace the cURL binary in c: (or wherever you put it) and retry.
If that still doesn't work, you might want to update your certificates

I did not have any version of that command in my c: ! Copying it there did not change anything, still the same error. But I have earlier succesfully uploaded the results, so obviously CURL has nothing to do with this problem.

Which, where and how? If you mean AmiSSL, I have the latest version, and have never needed to update the certificates separately from AmiSLL itself.

@Gregor

Not sure about AmiSSL, but i believe it uses the global certs in DEVS: aswell.
cURL is using it if you hook in secure sites.

https://curl.se/ca/cacert.pem
Download the file and simply copy it to curl-ca-bundle.crt.

You don't "really" need to update the certificates, but it doesn't hurt either
fwiw i stumbled over some sites that gave me SSL errors, after updating the certs i was able to reach them just fine...

According to the Acknowledgements file in the GfxBench2D archive, it uses libcurl, but apparently not the cURL command, i.e. the cURL functionality is compiled (or rather linked) into the program.

So no need to install or update the cURL command, just make sure the copy of curl-ca-bundle.crt in the progarm dir is fresh, as described by Raziel above.

Best regards,

Niels

@Raziel

I replaced the old curl-ca-bundle.crt in DEVS: with this version:

##Certificate data from Mozilla as of: Tue Oct 26 03:12:05 2021 GMT

But unfortunately I still get the same error when trying to upload to the HDRLab!

Could someone please try to upload there something, to see if the HDRLab really works? Thanks!

PS. Copying curl-ca-bundle.crt also to the same directory as the test program did not help, either.

@Gregor

Sorry that i didn't try that earlier, i had to download the app for testing first.

Seems to be a server error, no problem on your end presumably.

Probably one of those run out server certificates...not sure, Hans can probbaly fix it

@Gregor

with debug on its gives this



so it is to do with an old version of the tls protocol used by libcurl, and as it looks like the amiga version was built with libcurl embedded i dont think its a simple case of getting the latest version of libcurl.

i would assume, not knowing amiga programming that well, that GFXBench2D would need to be recompiled with the new libcurl, or use the libcurl sobjs.

@derfs

and to also mention, the windows version of the program has the same issue, but it has a seperate libcurl library that can be replaced.

@Raziel @derfs

I sent Hans email about this issue... I hope he has time to fix it.

@Gregor

Or better yet, he could advance it to benchmark gl4es hardware as well
