If this option is not used, the TLS layer may 20 use workarounds known to cause interoperability problems with some older 21 server implementations. 22 23 This option only changes how curl does TLS 1.0 with an HTTPS proxy and has no 24 effect on later TLS versions. 25 26 **WARNING**: this option loosens the TLS security, and by using this flag you 27 ask for exactly that. 28 29 Equivalent to --ssl-allow-beast but used in HTTPS proxy context.
