failed! "default" state Unable to connect with remote host.
failed! "default" state HTTPS client error: server does not reply on handshake
paused: cannot connect to av-download.bluecoat.com:443

  1. Login to the ProxyAV appliance
  2. Select Advanced > SSL Client > Enable client/server HTTPS Connections 
  3. Uncheck the box and click Save Changes.
