[KLUG Members] grief getting https to work (Invalid method)

[Adam Williams]

Installing an SSL certificate is giving me grief.  I've done this sort
of thing before but must be having a brain fade.  The certificate is in
/usr/share/ssl, and I've verified that the ceritifcate (.cer) matches
the key (.key).

But if I try to go to https://www.mormail.com/ I get a browser error and
in the apache error log I see -
[Wed Nov 19 07:41:53 2003] [error] [client 206.114.45.106] Invalid
method in request \x80g\x01\x03

In access log I see -
206.114.45.106 - - [19/Nov/2003:08:09:03 -0500] "\x80g\x01\x03" 501 -
"-" "-"

Apache is listening on :443, so mod_ssl must be loaded?
[root@turnstone conf]# netstat -ap | grep http

This is the only SSL key on the box.
