Received fatal alert: bad_record_mac
Hi all,
When performing callouts from Salesforce to various remote endpoints, we'll occassionally/intermittently receive a "bad_record_mac" error. Sometimes they are persistent and don't go away after a period of time, othertimes the next callout works without a problem.
Doing some Googling, it doesn't see to be an uncommon issue in the Java world, but the resources that are more Salesforce centric are very few in number. Those resources revolve around enabling or limiting various forms of SSL on the server (SSLv3, TLSv1, etc), but there's not a lot of information around the cause and as you imagine, no difinitive solution or response from Salesforce about it.
Does anyone successfully debugged these issues or have more information about why these Salesforce originating responses are dropping at the endpoint?
Thanks in advance!

It's a fairly standard HttpRequest class usage, not to disimilar to what's found in the documentation.
I keep attempting to get the Salesforce.com perspective, wondering about when a callout is made to an HTTPS endpoint, what SSL levels are anticipated. But, like always, the mothership keeps closing my cases, confusing them for developement requests. Sigh.
Thanks in advance.
