I wrote a small path to add the SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE OpenSSL option
to frontend, if the 'prefer-server-ciphers' keyword is set.
Example :
bind 10.11.12.13 ssl /etc/haproxy/ssl/cert.pem ciphers RC4:HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5 prefer-server-ciphers
This option mitigate the effect of the BEAST Attack (as I understand), and it
equivalent to :
- Apache HTTPd SSLHonorCipherOrder option.
- Nginx ssl_prefer_server_ciphers option.
[WT: added a test for the support of the option]
