Overview

Used to disabled padding in TLS 1.0 and above. Normally you do not need to use this function, but there are buggy clients that complain if a server pads the encrypted data. This of course will disable protection against statistical attacks on the data.

This function is defunct since 3.1.7. Random padding is disabled by default unless requested using gnutls_record_send_range().
