Thanks Bernd for the quick reply. I start the web application and use the URL https://www.careerbuilder.com/Share/LogIn.aspx?. This handshake is fine and the server redirects to another URL https://accounts.careerbuilder.com/Share/LogIn.aspx? and when the handshake happens with this host it fails.
When it fails and I retry several times to see it the handshake succeeds. But it was failing always. After say 15 or 20 min, when I retry the same URL, the handshake succeeds and the application proceeds fine. I shall try to get the wireshark trace tomorrow.
