- sslmethod = SSL.SSLv3_METHOD):
+ sslmethod = SSL.TLSv1_METHOD):
Is there a reason not to use SSLv23_METHOD here? Note that TLSv1_METHOD
only enables support for TLS 1.0 - it will _not_ support TLS 1.1 or 1.2.
If what you're looking for is "any version of TLS", then you want to be
using SSLv23_METHOD and setting the OP_NO_SSLv2 and OP_NO_SSLv3 flags.
