Why wasn't SSLv3(.0) be used? Or will only headers of SSLv3(.1) be
identified as "real" SSLv3? I am confused a bit b/c everyone tells you that
SSLv2 isn't secure and so usage of it should be avoided... and then it was
used silently. Maybe its insecurity doesn't matter in this early stage.

I used openssl-0.9.7e but can test the newer ones too.
