[sorry for top posting]

This begs the question "what is your access to the encrypted datastream?"

If you are sniffing from the wire using Wireshark, then it will decode to this 
level and show you a textual representation of the cipher list.

If you have access to the datastream through code, then you will have to decode 
the client hello message yourself. This assumes that you have access to the 
datastream before it enters OpenSSL (using BIO pairs, etc)

Hi OpenSSLers,

During the TLS handshake the client 
suggests a list of cipher suites (and then negotiation occurs).

I want to know what the client suggested.

In text (or with ways to translate bits to said text/acronyms).

Is there a trivial way to do this?

I want to expose the nature of the negotiation:

* it said: A, B, C or D (these cipher suites please)
* server said: B

I want the "A, B, C or D" part.

Is there an "easy" way to do this?

Regards,
