I've been running pretty vanilla CUPS-based printing on my home and office
machines for years. After a recent dist-upgrade to testing, I get on both
machines this error when trying to browse to the admin page:


An error occurred during a connection to localhost:631.

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)



...and this in /var/log/cups/error_log:

E [13/Jul/2010:14:05:26 -0400] Bad request line "^V^C^A" from localhost!
E [13/Jul/2010:14:08:23 -0400] Bad request line "^V^C^A" from localhost!
E [13/Jul/2010:14:11:32 -0400] Bad request line "^V^C^A" from localhost!
E [13/Jul/2010:14:11:33 -0400] Bad request line "^V^C^A" from localhost!
E [13/Jul/2010:14:11:34 -0400] Bad request line "^V^C^A" from localhost!


Any thoughts? Thanks.

It seems that you are trying to connect to the standard CUPS port (631)
using an https://... url. Did you actually configure your CUPS server to
support SSL connections on port 631?

Well, I thought I had - but using plain http: works fine, so something has
changed. Thank you for the suggestion, which worked!
