951199 - Interface for Socket Level Access to TLS Version Used

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

Description

[Patrick McManus [:mcmanus]]

This patch allows necko to determine the TLS version used for a particular connection. In particular, HTTP/2 carries a requirement for connections >= TLS 1.1 and this lets sensible application level error checking occur.

LGTM - just a few questions.

SSLv2 is completely disabled, right? We probably don't need this.

Do we also need to do this in CanFalseStartCallback?

This is redundant with the call in PreliminaryHandshakeDone.

based on review comments I removed the V2 const and the redundant code.
