It's a long story :)

>From 0.82 with some post patches we updated chipers. OpenSSL
introduced a fix for a minor security issue which did not work with
mssql so we find it and disable in order to make connection work. I
don't know why GnuTLS does not work for you while OpenSSL but looking
at your dump first 4096 (0x1000) bytes packet get encoded as a 0x1070
data while second one (still 0x1000 bytes) get encoded as 0x10a0 bytes
so I suppose it's something related to padding. I have to say that
mssql is quite racist.
