      In Java control panel, we have a HTTPS encryption algorithm setting:
      Use SSL 2.0

      We actually only support SSL 2.0 compatible client hello algorithm, not truly SSL 2.0 due to JSSE limitation. Therefore the text in Java control panel is misleading, the correct text should be:
      Use SSL 2.0 compatible ClientHello format

      This will consistent with Java 5 update 09 release.
