curl: (35) error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert internal error

[Teresa e Junior <teresaejunior@gmail.com>]

Hello! I am using curl 7.26.0-1+wheezy11, and when I run `curl 
https://www.basebit.com.br', it fails with the message:
curl: (35) error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 
alert internal error

I have done some research, and found suggestions that `curl --sslv3' 
should work, but then I get:
curl: (35) error:1408F10B:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:wrong version number

I have not been successful in trying to convince the website 
administrator to restrict available ciphers in Tomcat's https connector, 
as mentioned here: 
http://georgik.sinusgear.com/2012/02/19/tomcat-7-and-curl-ssl23_get_server_hellotlsv1-alert-internal-error/

So I would like if it could be possible to get this working here on my 
part! `curl --version' returns:
curl 7.26.0 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.26.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1e zlib/1.2.7

Thank you!
