Hi There,   

I am building a web service client application that uses openSSL for web 
service https/SSL communication.  In order to avoid the patent issue for the 
portion of openSSL, I build the openSSL libraries myself using ./config no-idea 
no-mdc2 no-rc5. All is working fine as far as I am concerned, my client 
application can talk to web service server through https. 

Now my question is:  What cypto algorithm is actually used in the https/SSL 
communication? What is really turned off by using no-idea no-mdc2 no-rc5? If 
these things are not needed, then why they are there? 

Thanks much!

Ray
