Description

lighttpd currently has the options ssl.use-sslv2 and ssl.use-sslv3 to control the use of SSL versions but there are no options to control the use of TLS versions. IMO adding more options in the same manner seems like a poor way of doing things. It would be better to add a new option that can control all current versions of SSL (v2 / v3) and TLS (1 / 1.1 / 1.2) and be future proof for TLS1.3 and so on.

tell the openssl guys to support version selection through the cipher string - that is the only way it can be really future proof.

Every other web server, SMTP server, proxy and so on has options for controlling this behavior except for lighttpd.
