Hi,

when I try to update my project, I get :

lun 06 giu 2011 18:01:00 CEST | World Community Grid | Scheduler
request failed: HTTP error 0

Trying to debug this with wireshark I get the following trace:

As you can see, after connetting to the server and start the ssl
handshake, the client send a not ciphered POST.

Hello,

have many thanks for your interesting report and bug hunting. When you have the opportunity, please also try with
  a) another project, SETI came to mind because of its closeness to the developers
  b) the latest version of the package, i.e. 6.12.33

As annoying as the problem may be for you - the bug is not grave. This would remove the package over short or long from testing,
which I don't want to happen.

Regards,

Steffen
