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.
