error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

Question

I'm currently trying to test the implemented changes for achieving security with Encrypted Shuffle in Cloudera Hadoop Environment.

I've created the certificates and keystores and kept them in appropriate locations.

I'm testing TaskTracker's HTTPS port of 50060.

When I do a curl on that port, I get below error response.

ubuntu@node2:~$ curl -v -k "https://10.0.10.90:50060"
* About to connect() to 10.0.10.90 port 50060 (#0)
*   Trying 10.0.10.90... connected
* successfully set certificate verify locations:
*   CAfile: none
  CApath: /etc/ssl/certs
* SSLv3, TLS handshake, Client hello (1):
* error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol
* Closing connection #0
curl: (35) error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

When I did check with open ssl client, i got below response

 ubuntu@node2:~$ openssl s_client -connect 10.0.10.90:50060
CONNECTED(00000003)

I'm not able to figure out what might be causing this issue ?

Is there something that I'm missing ?

PS : I've updated the ca-certificates.crt file and also kept the server .crt file under /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla

error:140770FC:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

It appears there is no SSL/TLS server listening on 10.0.10.90:50060. There is a server listening, its just not SSL/TLS.

I can duplicate it when connecting to my gateway over port 80 (rather than 443).

$ openssl s_client -connect 192.168.1.1:80
CONNECTED(00000003)

And if you use the -debug flag, you will see the HTTP in the response that OpenSSL is trying to interpret as SSL/TLS protocol data:

$ openssl s_client -connect 192.168.1.1:80 -debug
