Yaws HTTPS/SSL connection problems (ssl_server crash)

[Gaspar Chilingarov]

Hi folks!

After putting our system (using Yaws with SSL as backend) to production
I've discovered that our client have rather broken winproxy which
somehow breaks SSL connections -- when using SSL-enabled site it results
in a following message. At the same time connection without proxy from
the same computer works seamless. It occurs only when using IE.

Any thoughts how to fight this - or (at least how to restart ssl_server)?


Thanks in advance
