It is not possible to explicitly set the SSL/TLS protocol

[jcouball]

I need to set the TLS version to TLSv1.2 via the MYSQL_OPT_TLS_VERSION MySQL connection option.

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/mysql-options.html
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/encrypted-connection-protocols-ciphers.html

Is this possible with Mysql2? Maybe with :connect_attrs?

This is not currently possible. A new option handler needs to be added here:

mysql2/ext/mysql2/client.c

Line 844 in eca4d25

static VALUE _mysql_client_options(VALUE self, int opt, VALUE value) {

Thank you for the response, @sodabrew. I have been sidetracked by other things at the moment, but will revisit this soon. If I find I really need it, I'll take a crack at submitting a PR to add it.
