SSL problem

["ian" <ian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

An SSL problem has just occurred in a system that has been running OK
for 18 months, connecting to the same (only) host.

Debug info:

HTTPAPI Ver 1.16 released 2006-05-07

Questions:
Is the GSKit socket descriptor error just a knock on effect from the
original host refused error ? (i.e. can be ignored here).
Assuming that this connection, certs etc have all worked OK for a long
time. What possible causes may create this error ?
I am sure that the SSL certs in the DCM are OK.

My possibles are:
1. Firewall / router issue.
Is it possible that this may be a routing/router problem - i.e. the
'host' rejecting the connection is not actually the host we are trying
to connect to ?
2. SSL cert in DCM has become corrupted. (Unlikely in my experience).

Many thanks.
