| # `--proxy-ssl-allow-beast` |
| |
| Do not work around a security flaw in the TLS1.0 protocol known as BEAST when |
| communicating to an HTTPS proxy. If this option is not used, the TLS layer may |
| use workarounds known to cause interoperability problems with some older |
| server implementations. |
| |
| This option only changes how curl does TLS 1.0 with an HTTPS proxy and has no |
| effect on later TLS versions. |
| |
| **WARNING**: this option loosens the TLS security, and by using this flag you |
| ask for exactly that. |
| |
| Equivalent to --ssl-allow-beast but used in HTTPS proxy context. |
