try the ones in the NSSCipherSuite section of
 https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/mod_nss.git/plain/docs/mod_nss.html
There seems to be differences between CentOS 6 and CentOS 5.
Your working curl cmdline does not work for me on C5, but it works on C6...
Then, curl has a '--engine list' option.
On C5, I get padlock and dynamic.
On C6, I get nothing...
