+Long: ssl-allow-beast
+Help: Allow security flaw to improve interop
+Added: 7.25.0
+---
+This option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the SSL3 and
+TLS1.0 protocols known as BEAST. If this option isn't used, the SSL layer may
+use workarounds known to cause interoperability problems with some older SSL
+implementations. WARNING: this option loosens the SSL security, and by using
+this flag you ask for exactly that.
