[stunnel-users] BEAST Attack

[Scott McKeown]

Hi Shannon,

After flicking through the OpenSSL documents I'm guessing that from the
SSL_CTX_set_options page
http://www.openssl.org/docs/ssl/SSL_CTX_set_options.html we need to use *
SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE* but if you put that into your config file
as:
options = CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE
STunnel throws an error about the config file, so at the moment I'm a
little stuck.
