Public bug reported:

cURL supports a -ssl3 option (and rightly so), but openssl removed it
prematurely (see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1934040).  The
fallout:

torsocks curl --insecure --ssl-allow-beast -ssl3 -vvI 
https://xhfheq5i37waj6qb.onion:110 2>&1 
*   Trying 127.42.42.0:110...
* Connected to xhfheq5i37waj6qb.onion (127.42.42.0) port 110 (#0)
* OpenSSL was built without SSLv3 support
* Closing connection 0

Is it possible that curl's check for ssl3 is flawed?  I say that because
both curl and fetchmail are dependant on the same libssl pkg, and yet
fetchmail can still do ssl3 but curl can't.  Neither curl nor fetchmail
names "openssl" as a dependency.  So curl perhaps should not look to the
openssl package to detect ssl3 capability.

SSL3 is still useful for onion sites, so curl should do the necessary to
retain that capability.

Title:
  openssl removed ssl2/3 and broke cURL because curl uses openssl
  instead of libssl
