https failing: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG

[PROBLEM]
If you get the following error message when trying to connect to a site over HTTPS:
Check if you're actually connecting to HTTP, but prefixed the URL with "https://".
Common example is, if you're port-forwarding or SSH-tunneling http+https connections to non-default ports, and accidentally mixed them up in the URL.
That's what happened to me 2 minutes ago.
A bit embarrassing, but happens
