You will get such error message when you request HTTPS resource via wrong port  such as 80  So please make sure you specified right port  443  in the Request options

Some of the sites are speaking SSLv2  or at least sending an SSLv2 server-hello  and your client doesn t speak  or isn t configured to speak  SSLv2  You need to make a policy decision here  SSLv2 should have vanished from the face of the earth years ago  and sites that still use it are insecure  However  if you gotta talk to them  you just have to enable it at your end  if you can  I would complain to the site owners though if you can
