SSL record too long error

[lanmicro]

I got an error indicating that my SSL record was too long.  What is the message referring to and what might I do to attempt a resolution?

Bruce,

I just started getting this error also.  Everything was working fine and then it started.  My app is set to use SSL and when I go to https://localhost I get the following error in the browser:

An error occurred during a connection to localhost.
SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

my cert was create per nettalk docs about 40 days ago and was working fine until today.

I was on 4.31 PR14 and I upgraded to PR16 but still get the error.
WinXP
localhost 443

Hi David,

If you have 2 web servers in the web server procedure (ie one for port 80 and one for port 443) as per the mixed example, then try turning the port 80 one off (there's a checkbox to do this) and see if it makes any difference.

Cheers

I discovered the source of my SSL issue.  It was Skype.

Hi David,

Do you have any more info on this which might help others in a similar situation?

Under Options, Advanced, Connection

Uncheck "use port 80 and 443 as alternatives for incoming connections"
