[openssl.org #3565] bug report: s_client: -ssl2 is present in usage with OPENSSL_NO_SSL2 defined

[Ferenc Wagner via RT]

Running the openssl binary configured with no-ssl2:

$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1i 6 Aug 2014
$ openssl s_client -ssl2 2>&1 | fgrep ssl2
unknown option -ssl2
-ssl2 - just use SSLv2
-no_tls1_2/-no_tls1_1/-no_tls1/-no_ssl3/-no_ssl2 - turn off that protocol

That is, -ssl2 is an unknown option, still it's documented in the usage
block after the error message. It's compiled out at

913 #ifndef OPENSSL_NO_SSL2
914 else if (strcmp(*argv,"-ssl2") == 0)
915 meth=SSLv2_client_method();
916 #endif

but similar conditions should be applied around

338 BIO_printf(bio_err," -ssl2 - just use SSLv2\n");

as well. Same for the other protocols. It's a rather misleading
documentation bug, please consider fixing it.

This is already fixed in https://github.com/akamai/openssl/tree/rsalz-monolith
which will be merged into the next release after 1.0.2
