EmployeePradeep,
Renegotiation has nothing to do with HTTP. It occurs after initial SSL negotiation and during an active SSL session to essentially "swap" encryption keys. It is a fairly standard security mechanism in that the longer a key is used the more vulnerable it becomes to attack. Both clients and servers can initiate renegotiation, and we have settings within the client and server SSL profiles to control how renegotiation is handled.
