Topic: error -311: unkown type in record hdr

This is my first attempt in SSL world. My software is server side using wolfSSLv23_server_method and client is FireFox 99.0 (locahost/version).

SSL initialization seems OK but at first 'SSL_read', I got -311 error (unkown type in record hdr)

What could be origin of this error: compatibility problem between client and server,  ???

Re: error -311: unkown type in record hdr

Hi altech,

First, if you are not on the latest wolfSSL version (5.2.0), please try upgrading and let me know if it helps.
If not, can you share your user_settings.h?

UNKNOWN_RECORD_TYPE means we did not recognize the type in the record header, most likely you are not enabling support for the TLS version Firefox is trying to use, which is most likely TLS 1.3.
To enable TLS 1.3 support, make sure you have the following defined:

#define WOLFSSL_TLS13
#define HAVE_TLS_EXTENSIONS
#define HAVE_SUPPORTED_CURVES
#define HAVE_HKDF

Thanks,
Kareem
