 * Tried from a second wordpress blog to pick up the RSS stream of the blog with
   cloudflare. The URL i used is [https://www.domain.tld/feed/](https://www.domain.tld/feed/)
 * Flexible SSL is enabled and the Cloudflare Flexible SSL Plugin is installed along
   with the SSL Insecure Content Fixer.
 * The RSS Connection of the WordPress RSS Widget fails with:
 * WP HTTP Error: error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert
   handshake failure
 * Also other RSS readers have Problems including some wordpress plugins i tested.
   But in the Firefox Browser it works. All browsers based on Chrome, like Chromium
   and Opera, seems to fail also. The Message there:
 * This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it.
   The document tree is shown below.

 * Sounds like something to review via CloudFlare support

 * I thought they will answer here. I the meanwhile i solved the problem simply 
   by not using Cloudflare.
