<br>
if I'm using iPXE chainloaded via http everything works fine.<br>
<br>
When I switch from http to https with a self-signed certificate and the EMBED parameter to to include my personal root.ca I get a "Connection timed out (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ipxe.og/4c116035">http://ipxe.og/4c116035</a>)" error.<br>
<br>
I checked the above given URL and found out that the error somehow is related to DNS. So I build a new ipxe.kpxe with the EMDED and DEBUG=dns:3,<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https:3">https:3</a> parameters. The additional information I get is "DNS
0xd30d4 sending query ID 1" till </font><font face="Calibri"><font face="Calibri">"DNS 0xd30d4 sending query ID 5"</font> (see attached PXE-Client-https-error.png).<br>
<br>
After that I thought about addressing the chainloading host via a valid local DNS name. So I set up bind and changed the EMBED script. Now the IP address got exactly translated, but still there is the a "Connection timed out (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://ipxe.org/4c0a6035">http://ipxe.org/4c0a6035</a>)"
error (see attached PXE-Client-https-error-2.png), which is somehow related to the tcp.c file on line 633.<br>
<br>
It would be great if you have any advice for me.<br>
<br>
If you need further (debug) information please do not hesitate to contact me.<br>
<br>
Yours faithfully<br>
