I am receiving ‘peer closed connection in SSL handshake (104: Connection  
reset by peer) while SSL handshaking, client: 168.166.124.xxx, server:  
54.225.xx.xx’  
When I try to access an application through my nginx reverse proxy using  
CHROME. IE seems to work but Chrome recieves this error everytime.

Thanks

Seems I’m answering my own question but it leads to another. This is  
not  
really an issue with CHROME the problem is that I had fiddler running  
while  
I was trying to bring up my app. So it is actually fiddler that causes  
the  
errors. I also have issues with IE when I’m running fiddler jsut didn’t  
realize it. So is there anything I need to do to get nginx to run with  
fiddler or is there another diagnostic tool I could use with nginx?  
Thanks
