I'm sorry, but I don't understand why everyone is shouting SSCCE immediately. Also hippo's example doesn't show anything you already knew: That when you try to use SSLv3 the program fails.

The reason is this: I have never yet seen the error to which my anonymous brother alluded by "I get error that this version is not supported", presuming he means this version of SSL. Given that his code is incomplete and error message inexact, I cannot tell either by inspection nor by running it what the actual error message is nor what throws it. I've given a counterexample to show that I can quite happily run some code requiring SSLv3 without throwing an error resembling that hinted at in the OP.

Note additionally that my counterexample program doesn't fail. It correctly reports that the site tested forbids an SSLv3 connection (quite reasonably, I think we can all agree). It would be instructive to know what the OP sees when running that same code.

It's a good deduction on your part (++) that the OP's underlying openssl libs may not allow for SSLv3. Hopefully our anonymous poster will return and confirm it.
