CURL Error while making request: SSL connect error (error code: 35)

Question

When I try to connect to BigCommerce's WebDAV server from PHP, I get the following error message:

CURL Error while making request: SSL connect error (error code: 35)

I am using the SabreDAV Client library for PHP which is a wrapper around cURL.

I get the same error if I use curl from the command line.

I am using CentOS 6.3, PHP 5.3.3, curl 7.19.7.

I tried this on several different machines:

curl -v https://www.example.com/

On some machines I got the SSL error 35, and on some it worked with no error message. From this I suspected that there was some difference in the curl version being used, or else the related packages for SSL certs. So I tried updating some packages on the server I needed. It turned out that updating the Network Security Services (NSS) package fixed the problem.

yum update nss

Thanks @minitech, hopefully someone will find it useful. A few months ago I spent more than a day searching for an answer to this and failed. Today I had to work on it again, and I found a solution. – Liam Jul 31 '13 at 16:03
