There is another post floating around that claims to fix the problem. The subject is "TWD: Inofficial workaround for instant "connection lost" issues" and the fix uses a couple of json files. When I download the zip file containing them, I get 2 empty files. :-/

Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't. I can't try it.

I did try debugging the download using Network Monitor:

Client says Hello to the Server,
Server says Hello to Client,
Client initiates a key exchange,
Server issues a Cipher Change Spec,
Client sends SSL application data,
Server sends SSL application data,
then...
the Server throws an Encrypted Alert for what looks like a Decryption Failure (HEX 15),
the Client throws an Encrypted Alert,
the TLS connection is terminated and frustration ensues.

The Decryption Failure Alert is a BAD thing: "Decryption of a TLSCiphertext record is decrypted in an invalid way: either it was not an even multiple of the block length or its padding values, when checked, were not correct. This message is always fatal."

What's the deal? Bad keys? Broken encryption/decryption algorithms? Incompatibility with the version of TLS on the Client side? (This is using a Windows XP SP3 machine.)

Come on TellTale... a little help here???
