Folks,
As far as I know TLS and SSL are for secure http connections.
Normal MapServer configurations use curl to access public
WMS, and WFS servers and would not require either. I think
that SSL connections would be more common than TLS (which
I haven't actually run into in use) but if there is any packaging
complication depending on the SSL version, then I would suggest
just using the TLS version.
Best regards,
