Allow an appliction to set libcurl specific SSL options. The first and only options supported right now is CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST. It will make libcurl to disable any work-arounds the underlying SSL library may have to address a known security flaw in the SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocol versions. This is a reaction to us unconditionally removing that behavior after this security advisory: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20120124B.html ... it did however cause a lot of programs to fail because of old servers not liking this work-around. Now programs can opt to decrease the security in order to interoperate with old servers better.

README.win32
Read the README file first.
Curl has been compiled, built and run on all sorts of Windows and win32
systems. While not being the main develop target, a fair share of curl users
are win32-based.
The unix-style man pages are tricky to read on windows, so therefore are all
those pages converted to HTML as well as pdf, and included in the release
archives.
The main curl.1 man page is also "built-in" in the command line tool. Use a
command line similar to this in order to extract a separate text file:
curl -M >manual.txt
Read the INSTALL file for instructions how to compile curl self.
