[Solved] Safari failing in SSL with Ngnix as reverse proxy

I can access my MM server with any browser and it works great in SSL except safari (Mobile or Desktop). It fails with a generic 50X Server unexpectedly dropped the connection error. I use SSL on my Nginx reverse proxy with a CertCom cert.

If I browse locally (not encapsulated in SSL) or disable the SSL, it works fine. All my other SSL sites work fine. So it’s localized to my Nginx or SSL config for the specific site.

I see 2 errors I think may be a symptom.

Any chance you’re using Cloudflare or another proxy?

See: Cloudflare and websockets with SSL (free Cloudflare accounts block websocket connection)

I’m just using Nginx as my reverse proxy. There aren’t any more proxies in my set-up. Although that error is similar

I got it. This serverfault post suggested that the poster add

ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;

to the global Nginx config file, and it eliminated my problem as well.
