.. note::
This information varies depending on the version of OpenSSL.
For instance, in some older versions of OpenSSL (such as 0.9.7l on
OS X 10.4), an SSLv2 client could not connect to an SSLv23 server.
Conversely, starting from 1.0.0, an SSLv23 client will actually
try the SSLv3 protocol unless you explicitly enable SSLv2 ciphers.
Which connections succeed will vary depending on the version of
OpenSSL. For instance, in some older versions of OpenSSL (such
as 0.9.7l on OS X 10.4), an SSLv2 client could not connect to an
SSLv23 server. Another example: beginning with OpenSSL 1.0.0,
an SSLv23 client will not actually attempt SSLv2 connections
unless you explicitly enable SSLv2 ciphers; for example, you
might specify ``"ALL"`` or ``"SSLv2"`` as the *ciphers* parameter
to enable them.
The parameter ``ciphers`` sets the available ciphers for this SSL object.
The *ciphers* parameter sets the available ciphers for this SSL object.
It should be a string in the `OpenSSL cipher list format
<http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html#CIPHER_LIST_FORMAT>`_.
