Does CFHTTP in CF 5 only handle 56 bit encyrption?

This is what I read on their site? If its true, it sucks, because I'm trying
to use CF Authorize, a 3rd party tag.


"Due to United States export limitations that were in effect when Macromedia
ColdFusion Server 4.5 and 5 were released, the cfhttp tag only supports
56-bit encryption. If you try to use 128-bit encryption you will get a
communication failure error.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a protocol developed by Netscape for secure
message transmission over the Internet. The encryption is performed by a
number of different cipher algorithms. When an SSL enabled client (browser)
and SSL enabled Server communicate for the first time, they pick a cipher
algorithm that they both support. Commonly used cipher algorithms include
Export RC 2/RC4 40 and 128-bit encryption.

You can use the cfhttp tag on a Secure Sockets Layer for negotiating secured
transactions. Please note that currently the highest level of encryption
supported is 56-bit."
