+.TH CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS \- set SSL behavior options
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS, long bitmask);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a long with a bitmask to tell libcurl about specific SSL behaviors.
+
+\fICURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST\fP is the only supported bit and by setting this the
+user will tell libcurl to not attempt to use any workarounds for a security
+flaw in the SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocols. If this option isn't used or this bit
+is set to 0, the SSL layer libcurl uses may use a work-around for this flaw
+although it might cause interoperability problems with some (older) SSL
+implementations. WARNING: avoiding this work-around lessens the security, and
+by setting this option to 1 you ask for exactly that.
+.SH DEFAULT
+0
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+All TLS-based protocols
+.SH EXAMPLE
+TODO
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Added in 7.25.0
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
