Description

Instances of the condition class ssl-version-or-cipher-mismatch are used when SSL connection fails because of failure to match a cipher between the sides or problems with the key exchange.

Notes

The underlying implementation (OpenSSL or Apple) establishes the connection and decides where to fail, so whether such a failure occurs (for example, because the DH parameters are too short) depends on the underlying implementaion and its version.
