c: Copyright (C) Daniel Stenberg, daniel@haxx.se, et al. SPDX-License-Identifier: curl Long: proxy-ssl-allow-beast Help: Allow security flaw for interop for HTTPS proxy Added: 7.52.0 Category: proxy tls Multi: boolean See-also:

  • ssl-allow-beast
  • proxy Example:
  • --proxy-ssl-allow-beast -x https://proxy $URL ---

--proxy-ssl-allow-beast

Do not work around a security flaw in the TLS1.0 protocol known as BEAST when communicating to an HTTPS proxy. If this option is not used, the TLS layer may use workarounds known to cause interoperability problems with some older server implementations.

This option only changes how curl does TLS 1.0 with an HTTPS proxy and has no effect on later TLS versions.

WARNING: this option loosens the TLS security, and by using this flag you ask for exactly that.

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