I want to enable SSL on windows.So I download a shining light openssl binary,and then I create server.pem and server.cert using the following commands:

openssl genrsa -out server.pem 2048
 openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -sha1 -days 3650 -key server.pem > server.cert

and then I start bitcoin-qt with bat:

bitcoin-qt.exe -testnet -datadir=G:\BitcoinData-Testnet -conf=bitcoin.conf -server -rpcuser=usr -rpcpassword=pwd -rpcport=18332 -rpcallowip=* -rpcssl -rpcsslcertificatechainfile=server.cert -rpcsslprivatekeyfile=server.pem -txindex -lang=en_US

then I try to test SSL by executing commands:

openssl s_client -connect localhost:18332

the response is:

E:\apps\Bitcoin>openssl s_client -connect localhost:18332
Loading 'screen' into random state - done
CONNECTED(000001C4)

found out the issue,I'm running bitcoin in testnet while I put server.pem and server.cert in the data dir not under the "testnet3".As I moved the two files,things be OK.
