curl 35 error SSL connect error

Hi,

I have installed collectd on a server and I am trying to send metrics using the write_splunk plugin.
My server http port is 8088 and the SSL is disabled.

The write_splunk as written in /etc/collectd.conf configuration is:

 <Plugin write_splunk>
     server "10.163.0.X"
     port "8088"
     token "TOKEN"
     ssl false
     verifyssl false
 </Plugin>

The data is not reaching the splunk instance.
When i read the collectd logs it is writing:
[error] write splunk plugin: curl_easy_perform failed to connect to 10.163.0.X:8088 with status 35: SSL connect error.

I am unable to enable SSL in my server.

Thank you in advance
John
