Hi,

What browsers only use SSLv2? I'm planning to disable SSLv2 on our web server, and would want to know what browsers will be affected. I can't find anywhere what SSL versions Firefox 1/2 and IE6/7 support.

Thanks, Kenneth

According to the book, Data Center Fundamentals, page 369, SSLv3 support was added in Netscape 2.x and Internet Explorer 3.x, and TLS was added in Netscape 4.x and Internet Explorer 4.x.

So, SSLv3 support has been widely available since 1995–1996.

My working assumption is that SSLv2-only browsers are not found outside a museum.

I believe that it depends on the underlying SSL library that is being used.

That doesn't really answer the question. – ksuralta May 19 at 9:35
Because it depends on the library and not necessarily the browser? – sybreon May 20 at 0:16
