I am running Apache 2.0.59 on a mix of servers. (Linux / Solaris, AIX). How come, when I make a plain HTTP request to an SSL Enabled port, the Solaris instances immediately close the connection. telnet www.abc.com 443 Trying... Connected to www.abc.com. Escape character is '^]'. GET / HTTP/1.0 Connection closed. While the Apache instances on AIX return a 400 Bad Request message, but WITHOUT a HTTP header: telnet www.abc.com 443 Trying... Connected to www.abc.com. Escape character is '^]'. GET / HTTP/1.0 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>400 Bad Request</title> </head><body> <h1>Bad Request</h1> <p>Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<br /> Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.<br /> Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.<br /> <blockquote>Hint: <a href="https://www.abc.com/"><b>https://www.abc.com/</b></a></blockquote></p> </body></html> Connection closed. The configuration appears to be the same between the AIX and Solaris machines. I am puzzled! R __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
