SSL handshake error causing webcheck to fail

One of my websites is still using TLS 1.0 and there seems to be some sort of ssl handshake error going on. How can i work around this?

2016-08-10 12:54:08,196 ERROR An SSL exception was thrown when executing a web request: [SSL: SSLV3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE] sslv3 alert handshake failure (_ssl.c:603)

Thanks.

I opened a bug on this to look into a workaround. See http://lukemurphey.net/issues/1409.

Would you be willing to share the domain name of the host with the TLS 1.0 certificate so that I can reproduce the issue on my end (assuming it is public)? That way, I can be sure that I fixed it by verifying it myself. You can share it with me off of Answers if you want (via email to luke@lukemurphey.net).

Unfortunately it is not a public URL. I will see if i can dig up one to test with and I will email to you.

Thanks.

Cool, thanks. I had tried googling to find a server with TLS 1.0 but was unsuccessful so far. Might try again later though and see if I can come up with something.
