OpenSSL error when connecting to Caddy via non-standard port

1. Caddy version (caddy version):

v2.2.1 h1:Q62GWHMtztnvyRU+KPOpw6fNfeCD3SkwH7SfT1Tgt2c=

From GitHub - caddy-dns/route53: Caddy module: dns.providers.route53

2. How I run Caddy:

(In a docker container)

/root/caddy start -config /root/Caddyfile

Port 42280 is mapped from host to container

a. System environment:

Docker, Container is CentOS Linux release 7.8.2003. Not running under systemd.

b. Command:

/root/caddy start -config /root/Caddyfile

c. Service/unit/compose file:

docker run -p 42280:42280 -p 42281:42281 -p 42282:42282 --name amaranth-cow -td centos:centos7

Apps were installed after the container was created so its just that.

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

https://crown-amaranth-cow.dev.munvo.com:42280

reverse_proxy localhost:42283
log {
  output stdout
}
tls {
  dns route53 {
    max_retries 1
  }
  protocols tls1.2 tls1.2
}

3. The problem I’m having:

We use an application called Adobe Campaign that has a client - server architecture via HTTP. I use Caddy to provide easy HTTPs for this application. The server component doesn’t come into play with this problem. Normally, Caddy works for this application, but only under the default HTTPs port.

However, when trying to connect to Caddy with https://crown-amaranth-cow.dev.munvo.com:42280 we get a wrapped error like so:

'lOB-090013 error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert internal error (code 336032824)‘

Connecting to that host via that port works in Chrome no problem: https://crown-amaranth-cow.dev.munvo.com:42280 (behind a firewall so you’ll have to take my word).

I assumed it may have been an issue with the version of OpenSSL after identifying that the app uses OpenSSL 1.0.2n. But it seems to be related to the non-standard port and likely a misbehaving client application which is outside my control.

From other docs it seems like this might be a problem with SNI, that Caddy doesn’t know which cert to serve (working as intended).

In section 4 I will post the Wireshark excerpts, but you will see that in the SNI the application specifies the port.

Server Name: crown-amaranth-cow.dev.munvo.com:42280

I think this is a programming error on the client given that in the browser it does not specify the port in the SNI when connecting.

I don’t think the default-sni applies here as the SNI is set as you will see in the wireshark logs.

So my question: is there a way to tell Caddy to serve my https://crown-amaranth-cow.dev.munvo.com auto tls certificate to this SNI? Or am I miss-understanding the issue perhaps.

4. Error messages and/or full log output:

'lOB-090013 error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert internal error (code 336032824)‘

Caddy is not emitting any details about the connection

5. What I already tried:

Tried to downgrade TLS version assuming it was an issue with TLS versions.
Debugged the connection using wireshark.
Change the host port to match the caddy https port.
Works when not using a non-standard (443) port.
Works in Browsers/command line.
Tried to review the source code related to the SNI but it seems too complicated to follow.

6. Links to relevant resources:

I always suspect firewalls first, so make sure your network configuration is absolutely correct.

Correct, this is a bug in the client. RFC 6066 says:

the only server names supported are DNS hostnames

Enable debug mode in your Caddy config (see the global options, it’s called debug) and you will get more detailed logs.
