sslProtocol default value in 5.5.9 - broken?

[Paul Singleton <pa...@jbgb.com>]

5.5.9's documentation for the standard HTTP connector
says, in "SSL Support"

sslProtocol
     The version of the SSL protocol to use.
     If not specified, the default is "TLS".

If I configure my HTTPS connector with the (supposedly
redundant) attribute

     sslProtocol="TLS"

then it works fine, but if I leave it out, requests
just hang and eventually time out (Firefox says "The
request to xxx.yyy has terminated unexpectedly. Some
data may have been transferred")

<Connector port="8080" redirectPort="8443" />
<Connector port="8443" scheme="https" secure="true" sslProtocol="TLS" />

Am I missing something, is this a documentation bug
or a Tomcat bug?

It is a bug. I have fixed it in CVS and the fix will be included in the 
5.5.10 and later releases.
