(SSL: error:140943F2:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert unexpected
message) while reading client request line,

Any idea what might be causing this and a possible solution?

TIA,

Yes, FF3b5 is causing it and FF3 final is the solution =)

If you want a temporary fix to this issue, use ‘ssl_protocols SSLv3;’

I’ve managed to thin it down to how ff3b5 and nginx speak TLSv1 to each
other.

I am running nginx/0.6.29 and I experienced the same Problem,
but also with Firefox 3.0.1 (final). The SSLv3-workaround helped.
