18Do not work around a security flaw in the TLS1.0 protocol known as BEAST when
19communicating to an HTTPS proxy. If this option is not used, the TLS layer may
20use workarounds known to cause interoperability problems with some older
21server implementations.
22
23This option only changes how curl does TLS 1.0 with an HTTPS proxy and has no
24effect on later TLS versions.
25
26**WARNING**: this option loosens the TLS security, and by using this flag you
27ask for exactly that.

29Equivalent to --ssl-allow-beast but used in HTTPS proxy context.
