add screenshot (unfortunately the apache wiki doesn't seem to allow to upload 
images?)

  
  The important thing to take away from the 
[[http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sudeepg/archive/2009/02/16/debugging-ssl-handshake-failure-using-network-monitor-a-scenario.aspx|the
 document]] is that SSL contains an alert protocol, that can be seen and found 
in the transmitted TCP packets of an SSL communication, that contains an error 
code specifying containing the reason why a communication failed to be set up.

  As you can see in the screenshot, the two bytes contained in the "Alert 
Message" contain the error code "2f", which can be looked up in the respective 
[[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2246#section-7.2|rfc]]. In this case it's the 
code 47 (0x2f), which means "illegal_parameter" - there was some property of 
the certificate that the server (!) didn't like and refuses to accept. In our 
case the server was expecting a different issuer CN.
