Generally when you connect to a machine at http://www.example.com, the 
connection is made over port 80.  If you try to connect to 
https://www.example.com, the connection is made with SSL to port 443.  
Since you can connect to http://riga.ods.org:443 but not the equivalent 
https URI, my guess would be that it is a problem with the SSL 
configuration of Apache.  However, google turns up a problem that looks 
similar that was caused by an incorrect virtual host configuration:

Since someone else seems to have resolved a problem that looks like 
yours through the steps provided in the above link, I'd try that first.  
Otherwise, perhaps the Apache 2.0 SSL FAQ will be of help:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html

Specifically, there is a command that they mention that will give you 
some debugging information for a SSL handshake to your server:

openssl s_client -connect localhost:443 -state -debug
GET / HTTP/1.0

Hope that one of these options leads you to something that works-- let 
us know how it turns out!
