I have found that the very first connection to an SSL server often
produces no response at all (this seems to be true of Stronghold as well
as Apache-SSL), and just hitting 'Stop' on my browser and trying again
gives instant results. You may also see this behaviour if your browser
has a dud certificate that matches the website in it's cert database -
just go and delete any website certs that may apply.
The easy way to check if the server is running in SSL mode at all is to
telnet to it's port (e.g. 'telnet localhost 443') - you should get a
'connected' message immediately. Then type 'GET /<CR>' which should
cause an immediate disconnect. If you then go and look at your log
files, you should see:
[Tue Aug 18 18:06:57 1998] SSL_Accept failed
[Tue Aug 18 18:06:57 1998] error:140760F8:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_CLIENT_HELLO:unknown protocol
or similar.
cheers,
