That may or may not be true. If the browser you used has it's own SSL
handling code (happens more than you might expect) then you haven't
tested the openSSL client libraries yet. To make absolutely sure that
you are testing the OpenSSL library on your machine, use the command
line tool:

http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/s_client.html#

Use any and all options to give you a good understanding of what might
be going wrong. For example:

-debug
-showcerts

Sorry, it took a while to find the docs for it. I recommend routing the
debug information to a file so you can review it later.
