Re: TLS 1.2 cypher suites on 7.4 with HTTP API

Charles,

I've seen cases where if a server has an obsolete cipher in their list,
even if all others match between the two systems the IBM i will still throw
an error for some reason.  I've had to manually add ciphers in for certain
projects because of that... kinda stinks.

Then again, I've also seen clients error out if there is a single expired
CA or cert in the certificate store.. even if it's not used by the
application as well.  *shrug*
