Yet another broken SSL server which cannot do TLS1.0 or better. Browsers work around this kind of error by retrying with a downgraded SSL version. Recent versions of LWP (base of WWW::Mechanize) use IO::Socket::SSL/Net::SSLeay by default and you can simply enforce a specific SSL version like this: `$mech->ssl_opts( SSL_version => 'SSLv3');` [download] I've tested it and it works with this broken server.

Brilliant!!! Thank you! But I still don't understand why `$ENV{ HTTPS_VERSION }= 3` is not work but `SSL_version => 'SSLv3'` works...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

HTTPS_VERSION is a feature of Net::SSL/Crypt::SSLeay only, but with newer LWP Net::HTTPS/IO::Socket::SSL/Net::SSLeay is used instead.	[reply]

I see this Python solution: SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:reason(1112). Is there any way I can make same for Perl?	[reply]
