  • Version: v6.x+ ?
  • Platform: all
  • Subsystem: doc

Since node no longer supports SSLv3 (at least out of the box, not sure offhand about when using node with shared openssl), it is probably a good idea to remove references to SSLv3 in the tls documentation. For example:

  • The secureProtocol option examples in tls.connect() and tls.createServer() currently use SSLv3_method. We should probably change this to something like TLSv1_method. Also, it might be good to surround the name inside the backticks with single quotes since it is a string value.

  • tlsSocket.getProtocol() references SSLv3 as a valid example return value. If using a shared openssl does not change things, this should simply be removed from the list of example return values. The list of values should probably also include single quotes inside the backticks as well.

Yep, and the tls.client example shouldn't claim to implement an "echo server" :-(. I'd like to move the entire example to the top of the TLS page, de-duplicate it, and provide a clearer description of what client authentication is, and how to enable it.
