Hello Tom,

It's indeed an interesting way. I didn't think about something just disabled. I
browsed, gnutls rpm changelog and I saw this : 

* Thu May  3 2012 Tomas Mraz <tmraz@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.8.5-7
- more TLS-1.2 compatibility fixes (TLS-1.2 stays disabled by default)

So TLS 1.2 seems there but disabled by default : So maybe lftp can't use it
because it can't force it.

I tried browsing the code and RPM patches but I was unable to find where this
disable thing is.

Does anybody have an idea ?

Regards,
Olivier
