That's not what we're doing. We're using the auto-negotiation that apparently
is broken on some servers (there's a report somewhere, if only I could find
it). This causes the server to report an ssl version it doesn't actually
support and thus the connection fails. For this case it's useful to be able to
force the used version and thus skipping the broken negotiation.
