Description Simon Elén 2011-03-30 13:03:01 UTC
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslciphersuite
>Available prefixes are:
>none: add cipher to list
>+: add ciphers to list and pull them to current location in list

http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ciphers.html
>If + is used then the ciphers are moved to the end of the list. This option doesn't add any new ciphers it just moves matching existing ones. 
>If none of these characters is present then the string is just interpreted as a list of ciphers to be appended to the current preference list. If the list includes any ciphers already present they will be ignored: that is they will not moved to the end of the list.

What actually happens seems to match the OpenSSL documentation and not the Apache documentation.
