Re: 38501 on first HTTP_POST_VERBOSE

I'm no expert for SSL, but Google for

   GSKit Error is 415

and you will find plenty of results. Most point to a probable mismatch of cipher suites - a configuration issue. 

If you don't have the chance, to solve the problem this way - add an additional HTTPS request at the start of the program, of maybe some internal retry concept (like doing 3 tries before reporting an error).
