+
+These are the general-purpose I<version-flexible> SSL/TLS methods.
+The actual protocol version used will be negotiated to the highest version
+mutually supported by the client and the server.
+The supported protocols are SSLv2, SSLv3, TLSv1, TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2.
+Most applications should use these method, and avoid the version specific
+methods described below.
+
+The list of protocols available can be further limited using the
+B<SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2>, B<SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3>, B<SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1>,
+B<SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_1> and B<SSL_OP_NO_TLSv1_2> options of the
+L<SSL_CTX_set_options(3)> or L<SSL_set_options(3)> functions.
+Clients should avoid creating "holes" in the set of protocols they support,
+when disabling a protocol, make sure that you also disable either all previous
+or all subsequent protocol versions.
+In clients, when a protocol version is disabled without disabling I<all>
+previous protocol versions, the effect is to also disable all subsequent
+protocol versions.
+
+The SSLv2 and SSLv3 protocols are deprecated and should generally not be used.
+Applications should typically use L<SSL_CTX_set_options(3)> in combination with
+the B<SSL_OP_NO_SSLv3> flag to disable negotiation of SSLv3 via the above
+I<version-flexible> SSL/TLS methods.
+The B<SSL_OP_NO_SSLv2> option is set by default, and would need to be cleared
+via L<SSL_CTX_clear_options(3)> in order to enable negotiation of SSLv2.

-If the cipher list does not contain any SSLv2 ciphersuites (the default

-a client will send out TLSv1 client hello messages including extensions and

-If any SSLv2 ciphersuites are included in the cipher list and no extensions
-are required then SSLv2 compatible client hellos will be used by clients and
