Hey,

Its seems that with an ssl2 connection, no -bugs is needed, a connect
to banking.wellsfargo.com:443 works just fine.  

What I'm trying to do is get Crypt::SSLeay to support connections
to as many web servers as possible.  Are there some web servers
where only by turning the bugs options does allow one to connect

        SSL_CTX_set_options(ctx,SSL_OP_ALL|0);

is there any reason not to use all the SSL options ?  Is
the setting known for causing conflicts with any web servers?

Now there is finally another problem... it seems that
some servers can only support an SSLv2 connection and 
some only SSLv3... SSLv23 doesn't work for others.

So to connect to as many https web servers as possible,
one should first try an SSLv2 connection with bugs on,
and then an SSLv3 connection with bugs on.  

Yes?  Do I have this right?  Seems like the first SSLv2 connection
attempt will cover 99% of the cases, where the SSLv3 is needed
for a minority of sites.

Thanks,

Joshua
