What is happening on the wire? After some data is successfully transferred, at some point the client sends an encrypted alert (see above). The TLS session used a RSA key exchange and I could decrypt the TLS stream with wireshark, which revealed that the alert was indeed a bad record MAC. Wireshark's "follow SSL stream" showed all client requests, but not all server responses. The TLS level trace from the server showed properly encrypted data. I tried to spot the TCP payload which caused the bad record MAC, starting from the alert in the client capture (the offending TCP frame should be closely before the alert).
