hi maxime,

yes, it seems like someone trys to connect via ssl to a none ssl port.

if you try to connect to your apaches http port with openssl s_client
(openssl s_client -host $IP_ADDR -port $PORT) you will see something
like:

127.0.0.1 - - [09/Nov/2006:19:35:31 +0100] "\x80z\x01\x03\x01" 501 279
127.0.0.1 - - [09/Nov/2006:19:38:50 +0100] "\x80\x1c\x01" 501 277
127.0.0.1 - - [09/Nov/2006:19:38:52 +0100] "\x16\x03" 501 276
127.0.0.1 - - [09/Nov/2006:19:39:02 +0100] "\x16\x03\x01" 501 277

in your logfile. this depends on the ssl version and the cipher used.

but it could also be a ssl cipher check to find weak modes/ciphers in
your configuration.
