Socket closed in https session

[Phillip Gibb]

Hi,

I have generated a keystore and a certificate, I have added a connector in
server.xml to handle ssl connections.

Starting tomcat correctly establishes the correct connction handlers for
normal http and for ssl(port 8443).

But if I try to start up a https session using https://localhost:8443

I get : IOException in: R( /) Socket closed.

please offer any suggestions

Phillip
