Hi

I wonder should default value of  TSSLContext.SslVersionMethod be also updated 
to be at least sslV3, or to sslTLS_V1

Subject: [twsocket] OpenSSL 1.0.2g support

OpenSSL has released new versions this week, ICS versions of OpenSSL 1.0.2g and 
1.0.1s may be downloaded from: 

http://wiki.overbyte.be/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download

These new OpenSSL versions fix several issues, the worst of which relate to the 
obsolete SSLv2 protocol which by default is no longer supported, also some old 
export, low and DES ciphers are removed.  

Because these new DLLs no longer export some SSLv2 functions, they can not be 
used with existing versions of ICS, V8.24 is needed which is available with the 
overnight V8 zip.  

If your ICS application still needs to support the obsolete SSLv2 protocol 
(which is open to malicious attacks), ICS V8.24 and later include a define 
OPENSSL_ALLOW_SSLV2 which must be enabled and the library rebuilt to allow 
SSLv2 methods to be specifically selected for older DLLs or new ones that 
specifically have obsolete SSLv2 support compiled. 

The ICS_Download page has two versions of each of the new DLLs, without and 
with SSLv2 and the later versions may be used with ICS V8.23 and earlier.  It 
is not out intention to continue building the version with SSLv2, this is a 
stop gap to avoid rebuilding new applications.
