+ <item>In protocols that support client-initiated renegotiation, the cost
+ of resources of such an operation is higher for the server than the
+ client. This can act as a vector for denial of service attacks. The SSL
+ application already takes measures to counter-act such attempts,
+ but client-initiated renegotiation can be stricly disabled by setting
+ this option to <c>false</c>. The default value is <c>true</c>.
+ Note that disabling renegotiation can result in long-lived connections
+ becoming unusable due to limits on the number of messages the underlying
+ cipher suite can encipher.
