Well, client initially sends a http request to port 80 and my web server
redirects the client to use https using 302 http header if SSL is enabled in
my switch. As a result of that, client would resend https request to port
443. However I do not understand why that should cause this problem. There
is no way ssl_accept function is receiving http packet, since it is
accepting connections terminating at port 443 only.

Thanks,
Nagaraj

You are not talking to your server using the protocol it expects on that
port. The most common explanation for this problem is that you are using
an
'http' URL to talk to an 'https' port.
