11This option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the SSL3 and
12TLS1.0 protocols known as BEAST. If this option is not used, the SSL layer
13may use workarounds known to cause interoperability problems with some older
14SSL implementations.

16**WARNING**: this option loosens the SSL security, and by using this flag you
17ask for exactly that.
