Project:Branches: dlenski/gnutls:better_SSL3.0_tests to gnutls/gnutls:master
Author:    Daniel Lenski



This is a follow-up to !1221.
    
See #958 and https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect/-/issues/145 for a
real-world example of ancient Cisco servers with these deficiencies.
    
With !1221 only, gnutls-cli-debug reports that these ancient servers only support
SSL 3.0 (but without extensions).

With this additional change, gnutls-cli-debug correctly reports that such a
server also supports TLS 1.0 (but again with extensions disabled), and also reports
correctly the supported ciphers.

Unfortunately, these insecure and non-standards compliant servers remain in-use in
the real world, and it's helpful to understand the priority strings needed to support
them, especially for VPNs where there is often no alternative.
