[erlang-patches] R11B SSL patch

[Ingela Anderton Andin]

Hi,

thank you for the patch. I have created a ticket for this and we will 
try it out when we can find some time for it.  However we are in  the 
process of
making a new ssl-implementation  in erlang that will replace the 
ssl-driver version as soon as it is complete enough.  A trail-version is 
already available in R12B
but it does not yet support all necessary features and ssl/tls versions 
to replace the old ssl.

Regards - Ingela,  Erlang/OTP Ericsson
