Thanks, this is perfect. It's clear from the log exactly what's going
on, and turns out to be an easy fix.

== What's wrong ==

Your Cisco VPN admins have misconfigured the server by requiring
CSD/HostScan on all platforms, but failing to test that it actually
works with all platforms.

They probably only tested with Mac, Windows, and Android, and didn't
consider Linux clients. The CSD “stub” script specified for Linux
clients doesn't actually exist. OpenConnect tries to download it,
assuming that it has to be able to run this stub in order to complete
the HostScan… and fails because it doesn't exist.

This is why `--os=android` or `--os=win` work: the stubs for those
operating systems *do* exist, so OpenConnect doesn't fail.

== Why the server misconfiguration doesn't actually matter ==

The `csd-post.sh` script doesn't even try to use the scripts/binaries
sent by the server *at all*, so OpenConnect should be able to ignore
it.

== Fix ==

I whipped up a quick patch to address this
(https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/-/merge_requests/77) and
took the liberty of testing it on your server using the IP address
from your log. Long story short, it works fine with `csd-post.sh`,
despite the server's lack of a correct configuration for Linux
clients.

If you can compile OpenConnect from source, you should be able to test
this patched version just as I did. If you then install the resulting
OpenConnect binaries system-wide, NetworkManager should work fine with
it. Otherwise, it'll be a matter of waiting until we can roll some
version of this into an official release…
