Hello,

Could your issue be caused by this bug
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/965371>. It looks
like Ubuntu is not going to fix this bug in precise. Also see here
<http://serverfault.com/questions/436737/forcing-a-particular-ssl-protocol-for-an-nginx-proxying-server>.
In the previous link the person has the same problem and resolved it by
downgrading openssl.

There are a few solutions if you think this is your problem.

(This is a bug in OpenSSL that has been fixed in later versions.)

1. Upgrade your system openssl library. (I wouldn't recommend doing that
though as it may break other packages.)
2. Compile nginx with the latest openssl library. (Negative is that you
have to maintain your own packages and monitor for openssl security
vulnerabilities.)
3. Upgrade your Linux distribution to 14.04 LTS.
