| Help: Allow security flaw to improve interop | |

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