> I had the wrong ciphers configured. After some quick tweaking and a confirmation using openssl s_client -connect server:ip

Is this in the nginx config? Can anybody elaborate a bit further? Here is what I am currently using in my nginx config for ssl:

    ssl_session_cache shared:SSL_CACHE:8m;
    ssl_session_timeout 5m;

    # Mitigate BEAST attacks
    ssl_ciphers RC4:HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
V1OP

Are you referring to the cipher verification? I used:

  openssl s_client -host localhost -port 8082
Which is a openssl command. These settings were used for testing SSL: https://github.com/observing/balancerbattle/blob/master/ngin...

See https://gist.github.com/3rd-Eden/5345018 for the output of the openssl s_client for those ciphers. You'll see that `cipher : RC4-SHA` is used here. Which is one of the fastest if not the fastest cipher available.
