Re: older browsers, stunnel and privoxy

This is not what I've understood from your first description. You would
like to bridge TLSv1 to TLSv1.1 or TLSv1.2 before sending requests to a web
proxy.

This is why I don't think stunnel is intended for that.

That said, if SSLV3 and TLSv1 have been deprecated, there's a good reason
and you should seriously think to update your tools.
