When Microsoft, and later Google decided to update their SSL/TLS to use the 
latest versions of both, we at the copier company I work for did not have the 
luxury of saying that we couldn't ask our customers to update the software on 
their copiers. We had to send technicians out and do it. When major libraries 
like OpenSSL are fundamentally changed, we as developers and service people are 
bound to fix it.

You might consider bundling the fix into your next major release, but updating 
software to fix these kinds of issues is a normal and expected part of using 
software in this day and age. I might suggest that losing a customer because 
you ask them to do an update tells me you really didn't have that customer to 
begin with.

Fraser,

Mainly, I can't ask thousands of people to reinstall my application at this 
time.   Also, I can't take the risk of rolling out a *new* version of LC.  I've 
done that in the past and it has cost me clients.   With all new versions of 
LC, there are known bugs, and unknown bugs.  You and I and everyone reading 
this can expect this in a new version.  But my clients don't.  Later versions 
are simply more stable.  Period.

Other than this issue, LC 7.0.1 is working well.   Can you offer any support 
for this issue with 7.0.1?  Or, do I just set libURLSetSSLVerification to false 
and hope for the best?

Thank you for your time,
-Dan
