If you have SSLv3 enabled, does it succeed?

Can we get a full stack trace please?

This is unlikely to be a bug in Tomcat but it doesn't mean that Tomcat
can't mitigate it if there is a strong enough use case.

One could argue that Apache httpd supports the inclusion of trailing
dots (cf. https://www.apache.org./) so Tomcat should, but httpd
supports connecting to an SSL-enabled port without providing an SSL
handshake, in which case httpd replies in plain-text the likely
problem, and Tomcat/JSEE just kills the connection, and nobody has
been motivated to "fix" that lack of feature-parity, so there's no
guarantee that anyone will spend a great deal of time on this.
