| 11 | This option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the SSL3 and |
| 12 | TLS1.0 protocols known as BEAST. If this option is not used, the SSL layer |
| 13 | may use workarounds known to cause interoperability problems with some older |
| 14 | SSL implementations. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | **WARNING**: this option loosens the SSL security, and by using this flag you |
| 17 | ask for exactly that. |
