| This option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the SSL3 and |
| TLS1.0 protocols known as BEAST. If this option is not used, the SSL layer |
| may use workarounds known to cause interoperability problems with some older |
| SSL implementations. |
| |
| **WARNING**: this option loosens the SSL security, and by using this flag you |
| ask for exactly that. |
