You tried to access an ssl server via http.
Either access the service via https://...:9393 or use what Stefan suggested 
and start gsad with --http-only .

We suggest to use the --http-only flag and e.g. "stunnel" if you want to use 
it in production, because of an issue with the ssl-implementation.

The issue stems from a library in use (libmicrohttpd) and was btw. reported to 
be closed yesterday (so, smooth and safe ssl-out-of-the-box for gsad soon).
