This morning, we [removed support][github-services-pr] for the `ssl_version` webhook configuration
9+

If you have any questions or feedback, please [drop us a line][contact].

you can specify a specific version within the [webhook's config block](https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/hooks/#edit-a-hook). Include a parameter called `ssl_version`, with a value of either `2` or `3`.
