My copy of MSIE 5.50.4134.0600 has a checkbox for "Use TLS 1.0".

Better head for SSL, since I don't know any browsers that actually support
TLS (MSIE doesn't, I think)...

As Julien Pierre said, MSIE probably doesn't support TLS upgrade. Maybe it supports TLS with HTTPS://???

Also TLS is disabled as default. SSL/2.0 and SSL/3.0 are enabled by default (MSIE).
