    I receive the same firefox error trying ssl but the logs do say ” Invalid method in request \x16\x03\x01″

    It’s a apache2 error.

    Edit your etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl

    in this line:
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/XXXXXX

    XXXXXX must match with the filename in /etc/apache2/ssl/
    (not apache.pem the other one)

    apache -k restart

    good luck!

    Good luck

    This is correct.

    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/KEYFILENAME

    and

    SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/CERTFILENAME

    must match correct certificate and keyfiles. My question was if the bad error messages comes from the apache2 implementation or the firefox code.

    It’s a good effort, but would you advice how we solve same problem on Win XP pak2.

    Best Regards

    You mean you have an apache2 server installed on a Win XP SP2?

    Fix it in the same way, check the path to your SSLCertificateKeyFile and SSLCertificateFile and that the two files are valid.
