Changelog
Daniel Stenberg (20 Jun 2008)
+- Phil Pellouchoud found a case where libcurl built with NSS failed to
+ handshake with a SSLv2 server, and it turned out to be because it didn't
+ recognize the cipher named "rc4-md5". In our list that cipher was named
+ plainly "rc4". I've now added rc4-md5 to work as an alias as Phil reported
+ that it made things work for him again.

- Hans-Jurgen May pointed out that trying SCP or SFTP over a SOCKS proxy
crashed libcurl. This is now addressed by making sure we use "plain send"
internally when doing the socks handshake instead of the Curl_write()
