I'm writing a client application that needs to connect to a server that
doesn't use a cipher in the default cipher list.

I'm wondering how I can change this as the context_init routine doesn't
change the cipher list and I can't get the argument through from LWP to
SSL->new, or am I missing something?

Incidentally, the error that gets returned from openssl, 'error:14077410:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure' does not get
passed back through IO::Socket and gets reported as 'Can't connect to
194.201.69.72:443 (Timeout)', which isn't very helpful!

Does anyone know if there's a good reason for NOT being able to change the
cipher list or is it just one of those things that's not been required or
got around to?

Thank you
