Description
According to the documentation at http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_protocols, the default is
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
But line 564 of src/http/modules/ngx_http_ssl_module.c still includes SSLv3 by default
(NGX_CONF_BITMASK_SET|NGX_SSL_SSLv3|NGX_SSL_TLSv1
According to https://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/653, this has been fixed, and it is fixed in the Mainline branch. Is it supposed to be fixed for the Stable branch as well? If not, should the documentation reflect that?

Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
There are no plans to change this in the stable branch, as it's considered to be an unsafe change for stable. If you are using nginx 1.8.x and want to disable SSLv3, you can easily do it in the configuration.
As for the documentation, detailed information about SSL-related defaults in various nginx versions is available in the article Configuring HTTPS servers.
