If 20this option is not used, the TLS layer may use workarounds known to cause 21interoperability problems with some older server implementations. 22 23This option only changes how curl does TLS 1.0 and has no effect on later TLS 24versions. 25 26**WARNING**: this option loosens the TLS security, and by using this flag you 27ask for exactly that. 28
