Ssl – What are the possible causes of a curl protocol error

I'm getting the following error with curl:

# curl -vvvv https://192.168.99.100:8501/ui
*   Trying 192.168.99.100...
* Connected to 192.168.99.100 (192.168.99.100) port 8501 (#0)
* WARNING: using IP address, SNI is being disabled by the OS.
* Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to 192.168.99.100:-9825
* Closing connection 0
curl: (35) Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to 192.168.99.100:-9825

When I read the accounts of others – they say there are three possible causes:

1. The Destination Site Does Not Like the Protocol
2. The Destination Site Does Not Like the Cipher (SSLv3 issue)
3. The SSL Private cert Has Expired
4. A Curl bug

Now I've checked these four – and am still getting the error – so there must be a fourth reason. My question is: What are the possible causes of a curl protocol error?

I'm guessing I'll have to turn SSL trace on – but I'm trying to avoid having to do that.

(Note that this is also having issues talking to a squid proxy).
