+Pass a char *, pointing to a zero terminated string holding the list of
+ciphers to use for the SSL connection. The list must be syntactly correct, it
+consists of one or more cipher strings separated by colons. Commas or spaces
+are also acceptable separators but colons are normally used, \!, \- and \+ can
+be used as operators. Valid examples of cipher lists include 'RC4-SHA',
+\'SHA1+DES\', 'TLSv1' and 'DEFAULT'. The default list is normally set when you
+compile OpenSSL.
