When I switch from SSL = 1 to SSL = 0 and I use http:// instead of https://, the ability to upload attachments to logbook entries returns.  With
both Chrome and Safari browsers, with SSL = 1 the file upload hangs after only a small percentage of the file has been uploaded.  I ran the following
openssl diagnostic on my elogd port.  Would anyone have advice on what might be causing such errors?

For the time being, I am deeming ELOG 3.1.2 unusable with https (SSL = 1) functionality on my "Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)" server
with "OpenSSL 1.0.1t", due to the described apparent issues with SSL.  Reverting to http (SSL = 0) brings back my ability to upload attachments
and synchronize with a remote elogd running on a MacOS laptop.

Further to my comment in https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68549, if the described synchronization requires attachment(s) to be transferred from
my Mac laptop to the Debian linux server (with SSL = 0 set), it fails in all the tests that I tried.

To check whether these problems are linked to the OpenSSL version on the linux server, we also tried building an elogd executable using 1.0.2j

We're running Elog 3.1.2 om SL 7.2 and keep getting random crashes, sometimes when no one is accessing a logbook. The following is from /var/log/messages
with debugging turned on after the latest crash.

Never mind, version from github solved issue.

Hi,

As mentionned before, we happen to fail to receive email messages related to updates on
elog entries at our site. My understanding is that the SMTP header Message-Id MUST be unique for each email message. Whereas all elogd email

A pull request would be highy appreciated, because you can then test it thoroughly on your side. Adding a random number to the message id is simple.
"Reply-to" indeed does not make sense since elog cannot receive emails. Most sites use a generic "noreply@<domain>" to indicate
to the user that a reply does not make sense. I guess the "Reply-to" does not have to be unique, right?
