What is the problem? Are clients unable to connect? Seeing this error in a
log is perfectly normal and doesn't necessarily indicate any problem. This
generally indicates a protocol mismatch on the two sides of a connection,
which can occur very commonly on the Internet.

For example, if someone types "http://www.example.com:4040/" instead of
"https://www.example.com:4040/" one side will be speaking SSL and one side
won't. Odds are the SSL-speaking side will find some SSL protocol violation,
since the other side isn't speaking SSL at all.
