SUMMARY

The davfs2 tool is currently experiencing SSL handshake failures when attempting to mount Humyo, resulting in the error message: "SSL handshake failed: SSL alert received: Error in protocol version." This issue has emerged recently, affecting users' ability to upload and download files. The problem appears to be related to SSL protocol compatibility rather than an issue with Humyo itself, as similar errors have been reported with other WebDav services, including Cadaver.

I use Humyo for online storage and mount it through davfs2.

Up until a few weeks ago it was working perfectly. I could mount a folder, upload/download files and had no errors.

Recently, everytime I try to mount with davfs2 to Humyo, I get the following error:

Code: 
/sbin/mount.davfs: Mounting failed.
SSL handshake failed: SSL alert received: Error in protocol version

I have no idea why it would suddenly stop working. I believe it is an SSL problem and have read that Cadaver has the same issue. I don't believe it is something with Humyo as I can't get past this problem with any WebDav service.

I would appreciate any help you could provide.
