How to resolve Fehler: SSLError: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:510: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

[jonathanwinter123]

We get that error since the last few weeks, because of two external links. We already tried to link them with https, http and without the protocol, but we still get that error. The sites we have links to are: https://code.org/ https://www.sonatype.com/

Sites with the links: http://bbv.ch/de/jobs/nachwuchs/nachwuchs-foerderung.html http://www.bbv.ch/de/unternehmen/partner.html

Since I don't even know what went wrong, I can't say if the problem is on our site or on their site. Is there a way to solve this error?

Additional, not that important, question: Is there a way to exclude specific errors? Like to exclude all ssl errors.

Thanks for your support

Kind regards Jonathan Winter

you wouldn't be able to exclude this error, it will prevent any kind of communication as the tls handshake did not work (which is required). I have pretty much the same problem with a different site, so I'd argue your webservers are not at fault.

In case you wonder if you set up TLS/SSL correctly, you can try this one, it also lists common security flaws: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/

I encounteres this error, which looks very similar:

Error: SSLError: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:510: error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert internal error

I managed to check another TLS site just fine, so it does not appear to be a GENERAL problem with tls.
