From JSEE JDK 1.5 Guide I extracted this as notes for SSLv2Hello
-- snippet --
Currently, the SSLv3 and TLSv1 protocols allow you to send SSLv3
and TLSv1 hellos encapsulated in an SSLv2 format hello. For more
details on the reasons for allowing this compatibility in these
protocols, see Appendix E in RFC 2246: The TLS Protocol Version 1.0.
Note that some SSL/TLS servers do not support the v2 hello format
and require that client hellos conform to the SSLv3 or TLSv1 client
hello formats.
The SSLv2Hello option controls the SSLv2 encapsulation. If
SSLv2Hello is disabled on the client, then all outgoing messages
will conform to the SSLv3/TLSv1 client hello format. If SSLv2Hello
is disabled on the server, then all incoming messages must conform
to the SSLv3/TLSv1 client hello format

Sounds like both IE and Firefox sends Client Hello in SSLv2
encapsulation format !!
Is there a way I could get implementation for this please??
As I have integrated Jessie with Tomcat I need this support
desperately !!
