I don't know which specific ciphers which OpenSSL version supports or not, so
you're probably better off investigating that in the openssl code or asking
openssl developers for details.

curl simply passes a list of desired ciphers to openssl
(ALL!EXPORT!EXPORT40!EXPORT56!aNULL!LOW!RC4 by default) so that it will pick
the "best" one after it has gotten a list of supported ciphers from the server
in the TLS handshake AFAIK.
