I don't *know*, but...

You don't say what version of Tomcat you're running, but I don't
think the Connector attributes have changed much.

Still, it seems like the problem is that the browser is initiating
the attempt to connect with an SSL handshake; if the server doesn't
respond appropriately, I would expect some kind of error/warning.

In any case, you can change the Connector's scheme attribute from
"https" to "http" and secure from "true" to "false" and remove the
keystoreFile and sslProtocol attributes and see what happens :-)

Good luck,
