The newer the Jetty Server is the more unlikely it Supports the old and unsafe SSL2 handshake. You should not enable the SSL2Hello pseudo protocol on Client side. JDK certainly does not by Default.

This is one of the latest versions of Jetty so I would hope that it would support that. But I've also tried specifying various other http.protocols on both sides but it hasn't seemed to change the result. Any other flags or things I should try?

What SSL protocols have you enabled on both these sides? If you haven't explicitly enabled any, then what do they default to in these libraries/servers? -Jaikiran
