SBL-EAI-04116:HTTP Internet Exception during 'Data Send': 'An error occurred in the secure channel support', code: '12157'

Question

Integration Siebel - Google geocoding:

the URL requests sent directly from the browser:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=Landsdorf%20Strasse,,Gr%C3%BCnewald,01945,Deutschland&key=API_key

where API_key = particular API key provided by Google during first registration

Such request is working correctly, the response with geo codes is returned into the browser screen.

However if the same request is sent via Siebel through BS: EAI HTTP Transport

The error is displayed:

SBL-EAI-04116:HTTP Internet Exception during 'Data Send': 'An error occurred in the secure channel support', code: '12157'.

Described solutions on official Oracle support Web for that error are related to some missing certificate on external Server , (in our case Google Server) This is a faily generic occuring at the Wininet layer during the SSL handshake. And action should be: Throughly check the external webserver logs wih increased SSL tracing level on webserver.

but logically it does not make a sense, why URL request directly from the browser (same network) has been successfully sent and response was received without using any certifications or similar stuff related to SSL handshake

Can someone help with it ?

Thank you Best regards

I have a hunch here Siebel is sending data in UTF-16 format, and end point is rejecting it. Please check your outgoing trace messages.
