For all practical purposes, MS IE 2.0 thorough 5.0 cannot connect to any
httpd 2.next deployments; therefore the user-agent string will not be
readable, and this cruft is now a no-op. MS IE 20.0 in the far far future
may try to connect, removing this cruft future-proofs us.

-# SSL Protocol Adjustments:
-# The safe and default but still SSL/TLS standard compliant shutdown
-# approach is that mod_ssl sends the close notify alert but doesn't wait for
-# the close notify alert from client. When you need a different shutdown
-# approach you can use one of the following variables:
-# o ssl-unclean-shutdown:
-# This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. no
-# SSL close notify alert is sent or allowed to be received. This violates
-# the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead browsers. Use
-# this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard approach where
-# mod_ssl sends the close notify alert.
-# o ssl-accurate-shutdown:
-# This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is closed, i.e. a
-# SSL close notify alert is sent and mod_ssl waits for the close notify
-# alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard compliant, but in
-# practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead browsers. Use
-# this only for browsers where you know that their SSL implementation
-# works correctly.
-# Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to the HTTP
-# keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to disable
-# keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable "nokeepalive" for this.
-# Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to workaround
-# their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables "downgrade-1.0" and
-# "force-response-1.0" for this.
