java version "1.2.2"
Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.2-W, native threads, symcjit)

I have a problem working with any version of SSL but TLS.
I can only work with 'TLS' (which is "SSL3.1" - according to your documentaion).
I have to work with "SSLv3" and "SSLv2" because I am working with FW which work
only with "SSLv3" and "SSLv2", but even when I set
SSLContext.getInstance("SSLv3"); - it keep show me (during debug) that it works
with -SSLv3.1


########################################################

The code I am using is:

     SSLContext ctx;
     KeyManagerFactory kmf;

     try{

        ctx = SSLContext.getInstance("SSLv3");
        kmf = KeyManagerFactory.getInstance("SunX509");
        try{
       ctx.init(kmf.getKeyManagers(), null, null);
       SSLSocketFactory factory = ctx.getSocketFactory();
       SSL Socket socketS = (SSLSocket)factory.createSocket
(InetAddress.getByName(rServer), rPort);

     } catch(java.security.KeyManagementException kme ){
          System.out.println("##### KeyManagementException  " + kme.getMessage
());
       }

     } catch ( java.security.NoSuchAlgorithmException ne){
          System.out.println("##### NoSuchAlgorithmException  " + ne.getMessage
());
     }

It seems like it fails in the 'clientHello' step...

N/A

I'm guessing it may be related to whacking the v3.x hello into
a v2 client hello and sending to a server that doesn't recognise v2.

Please See RFE 4273544 : JSSE Request for function forceV3ClientHello.
We are implementing a new set of SSLSocket APIs (setEnabledProtocols, getEnabledProtocols and getSupportedProtocols) to enable a specific protocol on the socket.  
I am closing this as a duplicate of the RFE 4273544.
