sip.conf: tlsclientmethod is using sslv23 as default.
When 'tlsclientmethod' is not specified in sip.conf, chan_sip uses the OpenSSL SSLv23_method. This was documented incorrectly in the file sip.conf.sample. SSLv23_method got its name in the 90s. Today, with OpenSSL 1.0.2, this method enables (just) the secure TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.2. Or stated differently, that function should have been called 'secure_method' or 'automatic_method' back in the 90s. Consequently please, specify 'tlsclientmethod=tlsv1' in your sip.conf only if you face a server which has problems like not falling back to TLSv1.0 automatically.
