ZNC 1.2 (OpenSSL 1.0.1e) + WebAdmin Module (SSL) doesn't work with EC PEM file (TLSv1.2-ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384-256bits) #272

The EC PEM file (TLSv1.2-ECDH-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384-256bits) works fine with ZNC but the WebAdmin (SSL) module doesn't work, the only way to solve this problem is replacing the PEM file to RSA (TLSv1.2-AES256-GCM-SHA384-256bits) that way will both work, the ZNC and the WebAdmin (SSL) module.

UPDATE:

FALSE ALARM!!!

The issue came from browser together with ZNC WebAdmin module, i use the same PEM file with other servers/softwares (webservers) and this issue does not happen whatever the browser used.

CHROME:
Error Code: ERR_SSL_VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH

IE:
Doesn't open and it doesn't show any error

FIREFOX:
Works fine

This report can be closed since the problem is not from ZNC but from ECDSA (opens fine with Firefox), keep up RSA to avoid problems with browsers.
