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