Greetings, I would like to be able to set the cipher list when creating an SSL connection. It appears that the current SSL module doesn't provide this functionality.
The attached patch (against trunk) adds this ability to SSLSocket. Thank you, --Chris PS: Please reply directly to me, as I'm not subscribed to this list.
