| If checked and SNI is enabled, SSL handshakes are aborted if the target Web server(s) doesn't support Server Name Indication (SNI). The corresponding HTTP requests will fail in such a case and no data are recorded. |
| If checked, enables workarounds to support poorly-implemented SSL server libraries. |
| If checked, debug information about SSL/TLS Handshakes are written to stdout or to the ZebraTester Console. |
