In this case, the client has negotiated a protection (PROT) level of
'Private' earlier in the handshake, then later has requested that the
protection level be set to 'Clear' (C).  Current, mod_tls does not support
the downgrading of protection levels:

   Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
   Enwrought with golden and silver light,

   Of night and light and half-light,
   I would spread the cloths under your feet.
   But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
   I have spread my dreams under your feet;
   Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
