Allow insecure ciphers #15

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

Hello.

We're using RC4 from the native crypto module at this moment for non-critical data ciphering. I was excited to upgrade this part of our solution with an async library, but to my surprise I got greeted with a message that told me this algorithm is disabled.

In my opinion, weak ciphers should be allowed as they're even native to Node. Any future plans for allowing this? Perhaps some sort of option? It's a real bummer!

Thanks @Zaseth , I'm sorry that the lack of RC4 is a blocker for you, but RC4 is not something this module would support. The limited surface area is a feature not a bug!
