You'll find more details about cipher lists on this URL:

 https://curl.haxx.se/docs/ssl-ciphers.html

For NSS, valid examples of cipher lists include 'rsa_rc4_128_md5',
\'rsa_aes_128_sha\', etc. With NSS you don't add/remove ciphers. If one uses
this option then all known ciphers are disabled and only those passed in are
enabled.
