[Nagiosplug-help] check_http error

[Miah, W (Wadud)]

Has anyone had this error:

[root at oberon nagios-plugins-1.4.11]# plugins/check_http -H <IP_ADDR>
--ssl -C 10
CRITICAL - Cannot make SSL connection
24922:error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake
failure:s3_pkt.c:1052:SSL alert number 40
WARNING - Certificate expires in 7 day(s) (03/14/2008 17:14).
[root at oberon nagios-plugins-1.4.11]#

I've just downloaded the latest version of the plugins. It complains it
cannot make the SSL connection (and subsequently the handshake) and yet
is able to determine that the certificate is going to expire in 7 days. 

Thanks in advance.
