ssl:// internet domain description outdated #5081
Description
Affected page
https://php.net/transports.inet
Current issue
ssl:// will attempt to negotiate an SSL V2, or SSL V3 connection depending on the capabilities and preferences of the remote host. sslv2:// and sslv3:// will select the SSL V2 or SSL V3 protocol explicitly.
The ssl:// description is outdated and misleading, and the sslv2:// and sslv3:// should probably be fully removed.

Suggested improvement
ssl:// will attempt to negotiate an SSL/TLS connection depending on the capabilities and preferences of the client and remote host.
Since the available protocols also must be available to the client, e.g. through stream_context_create(['ssl' => ['crypto_method' => $protocols]])
