Re: SSL gskit handshake errors

HTTPAPI calls the gsk_* functions on your behalf.  If you're using this 
callback, you'd be doing so by coding something like:

*http_xproc( HTTP_POINT_GSKIT_CERT_VAL: %paddr(myProcedure));*

I'm guessing that you're not doing that, so probably that APAR didn't 
apply to your situation.   I wonder if the API you're connecting to 
might change servers at night?  Perhaps they have a fallback server that 
they go to while doing maintenance (such as a nightly backup, etc) and 
it uses different ciphers?

I'm not sure what's going on, though, just taking guesses.  If retrying 
is enough to solve the problem, maybe that's the best solution for now.
