This error is a known bug in earlier versions of 4D Webstar Server Suite/SSL. You should upgrade to the latest version, and make sure all fixes and updates have been applied.

If you are using the latest version, check that your SSL settings are correct. The server should be listening on Port 443 for SSL connections, and have the correct certificate and key file specified. Enable all ciphers. If you have not set up your server correctly for SSL, you may receive this error.
