I can't connect to google.com via HTTPS on any browser (Safari, Firefox or Chrome). All other sites (HTTPS or not) are fine. The error I get is ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED in Chrome, Secure Connection Failed in Firefox. Both curl and OpenSSL via command line also fail:

$ curl https://www.google.com
curl: (35) Server aborted the SSL handshake

$ OpenSSL s_client -connect www.google.com:443
CONNECTED(00000003)
333:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:/SourceCache/OpenSSL098/OpenSSL098-52.8.4/src/ssl/s23_lib.c:185:

I have tried "Reset my default keychain" and a lot of other suggestions, but nothing has worked. I recently installed AVAST (which has worked fine for a couple of weeks) and I think the problem may have something to do with AVAST hijacking the SSL process - I have now uninstalled it but still have the same problem.

This seems like it was a problem with Google as the remote end aborted the SSL handshake.

If it had been just your machine it cURL would have simply stated alert handshake failure if it was your machine.

While I know this is an answer to an old question, I hope it helps anyone else who runs into this problem.
