- This information varies depending on the version of OpenSSL.
- For instance, in some older versions of OpenSSL (such as 0.9.7l on
- OS X 10.4), an SSLv2 client could not connect to an SSLv23 server.
- Conversely, starting from 1.0.0, an SSLv23 client will actually
- try the SSLv3 protocol unless you explicitly enable SSLv2 ciphers.

- The parameter ``ciphers`` sets the available ciphers for this SSL object.
+ The *ciphers* parameter sets the available ciphers for this SSL object.
It should be a string in the `OpenSSL cipher list format
<http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_LIST_FORMAT>`_.
