The below configuration causes SSL not to be initialized for that server section, silently. nginx listens on the port but rejects SSL connections as "client sent invalid method while reading client request line ... " as shown by the error log file, which was put in debug mode to figure this out.

Tested with version 0.6.31.

server { listen x.x.x.x:443; server_name hostname.com <- notice the lack of ;

ssl on; ssl_protocols SSLv3 TLSv1; ... }

nginx treats this as

server_name hostname.com ssl on;

The problem is that "ssl" and "on" may be valid server names.

The server_name directive now checks only "/" symbols in name and issues warning

server name "..." has strange symbols

to prevent

server_name hostname.com access_log /path/to/log;

and so.
