[issue26254] ssl should raise an exception when trying to load an unusable key (ECC key not using a named curve)

[Evgeny Kapun]

Evgeny Kapun added the comment:

So, it looks like OpenSSL doesn't support keys using arbitrary curves at all. Then why don't I get an exception when trying to load such a key? Instead it just quietly disables all authenticated ciphersuites (anonymous ciphersuites still work) and then I get a confusing exception about lack of shared ciphers. I think that if it can't use a key, it should raise an exception right away.
