nginx-1.1.0

[Calomel Org]

Elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) key exchange ciphers work
perfectly. Thank you very much Igor and Adrian.

For those interested, the ssl_ecdh_curve directive specifies the type
of curve you want to use. secp521r1 is the 521 bit EC for example.

## Global SSL options
 ssl_ciphers ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:AES256-SHA:CAMELLIA256-SHA:DES-CBC3-SHA

## HTTPS server body
 ssl_ecdh_curve secp521r1;
