I've proposed a patch for trunk at https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46123
that spots an attempted SSL connection on a non-SSL port and gives a more useful message than "Invalid method in request". It looks to see if the first couple of bytes look like an SSL handshake, and logs instead "Invalid method in request %s - possible attempt to establish SSL connection on non-SSL port". I'm interested in comments - does this seem useful? Is this the best way to go about it? Thanks. -- Dan Poirier <poir...@pobox.com>
