Subject: [PATCH proxmox v3 2/6] http: tls: use legacy behavior when PROXMOX_NEW_TLS_CHECK is not set
Date: Wed, 17 Jun 2026 10:59:14 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260617085949.1528300-3-d.csapak@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260617085949.1528300-1-d.csapak@proxmox.com>
if that environment variable is not set to "1", give the openssl result
priority, and potentially ignore a given fingerprint that is not
matching. If that's the case, print a warning.
