DocuSign sandbox connection is getting an sslv3 alert handshake failure

Question

All of my connections to the DocuSign sandbox are getting this curl error:

error:14094410:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert handshake failure

I have only noticed this today, and can't remember the last time I checked the sandbox connection so I couldn't say when this first broke.

It looks like this might be due to SSL3 being disabled by DocuSign because of POODLE. Not sure what to do to fix it, however, and/or if it is also an issue with the live connections. — Roger Halliburton, Mar 05 '15 at 20:26
[DocuSign issued an alert on Feb 13, 2015](https://trust.docusign.com/updates-and-alerts). SSLv3 was disabled in the sandbox on Feb 23, and will be disabled in production on March 23. I feel like a guest who arrived at a party too early, and the snacks haven't been put out yet. — Roger Halliburton, Mar 12 '15 at 06:00

Specific to PHP, I changed the CURLOPT_SSLVERSION from this:

curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, 3);

to this:

curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_SSLVERSION, CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1)

and the API is functional again.
