Selenium version: 2.6
OS: Debian 5.0.8

It seems that since the refactoring of DefaultHttpClient (http://code.google.com/p/selenium/source/detail?r=13680),
the error described above is raised. The same command line with Selenium 2.4 works
perfectly. I've made sure no other application was using the 443 SSL port and even
disabled the firewall. Maybe some more configuration is needed here (e.g. with the
'javax.net.ssl.keyStore' properties)?
