The server is most likely looking to read the User-Agent HTTP header
to do some preproceessing before returning the page.  Since it cant
find it it simply aborts.  Check the HTTP rfc for the exact syntax and
send both lines:

GET / HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: find correct syntax in rfc
\n\n

has nothing to do with the ssl connxn.
