What does the “PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR” error mean?

I was playing around with some SSL settings in Emby, and I managed to get this 'Secure Connection Failed' error which says: An error occurred during a connection to emby.home.local:8920. PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR

I'm not trying to fix the error, I just want to know what it means. I can't find any official documentation regarding this specific SSL error message.

Hi Cheese,

None of those links say **specifically** what this error means. The closest one is the second link you posted, but unfortunately it is still generic to SSL error messages, rather than this **specific** SSL error message.

Thanks, -Aaron
