Yeah I know. You’re getting this:

21-Jun-2012  5:40 PM: HTTP parse error, malformed request (127.0.0.1): #<Mongrel::HttpParserError: Invalid HTTP format, parsing fails.>
21-Jun-2012  5:40 PM: REQUEST DATA: "\026\003\000\000A\001\000\000=\003\000Oã¿\000\001hìÍëÂZd^h9\216\247áKP

Or maybe this:

And you have no idea why. And it is driving you crazy. I got you…

You meant HTTP not HTTPS.
