[STR New]

Within the text of the shipped documentation
(http://localhost:631/help/ref-cupsd-conf.html, using CUPS-1.4.4) as well
as online version
(http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/doc-1.4/ref-cupsd-conf.html#SSLOptions)
there are two different paragraphs dealing with "SSLOptions". Both have
very different content:


SSLOptions
==========

  Examples
  --------
    SSLOptions 127.0.0.1:443
    SSLOptions 192.0.2.1:443

  Description
  -----------
       The SSLOptions directive specifies a network address and port to 
    listen for secure connections. Multiple SSLOptions directives can 
    be provided to listen on multiple addresses.
       The SSLOptions directive is similar to the SSLPort directive but 
    allows you to restrict access to specific interfaces or networks.

SSLOptions
==========

  Examples
  --------
    SSLOptions None
    SSLOptions NoEmptyFragments

  Description
  -----------
       The SSLOptions directive specifies additional SSL/TLS protocol 
    options to use for encrypted connected. Currently only two options 
    are supported - None (the default) for the most secure mode and 
    NoEmptyFragments to allow CUPS to work with Microsoft Windows with 
    the FIPS conformance mode enabled.


I suspect the first instance of 'SSLOptions' should rather be named
'SSLListen'.
