iOS 9 requires all NSURLConnection connections to support TLS 1.2. So I needed to check my servers to see if this was indeed configured. After looking around a bit I was able to find that you could test for this using openssl.
On OS X with homebrew you can test with this command:
/usr/local/Cellar/openssl/1.0.2d_1/bin/openssl s_client -tls1_2 -connect www.codeography.com:443
If you have linux (with a new enough openssl) or have overridden the system openssl on OS X you can just leave off the full path:
openssl s_client -tls1_2 -connect www.codeography.com:443
If it is supported you’ll see the Certificate chain as well as some information about the connection. The bit I was looking for was “Protocol: TLSv1.2”
Looked something like this:
New, TLSv1/SSLv3, Cipher is ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
SSL-Session:
Protocol : TLSv1.2
TLS session ticket lifetime hint: 1200 (seconds)
