[issue2686] Error when cloning: SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:unknown protocol

[esskov]

New submission from esskov <esskov at oncable.dk>:

I get an error when trying to clone or pull, using Mercurial version 1.8 
on Windows 7 running on a VirtualBox VM. I am able to ping bitbucket.org 
from the VM, and can also open the https://bitbucket.org/... link in a web 
browser on the VM. Previously cloning has worked fine from the same VM, 
but unfortunately Windows Update, VirtualBox, and Mercurial were all 
updated without testing Mercurial cloning in between, so I can't say when 
the error first appeared.
Cloning the same repository works fine from a non-virtual Windows XP, 
running Mercurial 1.7.3 (installed via TortoiseHg), FWIW.

C:\tmp>hg --debug clone https://bitbucket.org/stefanrusek/hg-fixutf8
using https://bitbucket.org/stefanrusek/hg-fixutf8
sending between command
abort: error: _ssl.c:490: error:140770FC:SSL
