MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS seems to be ignored

Hi,
I have the following set in wp-config.php
define('MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS', MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL);

Which works fine with wordpress, but backupwp fails to auth to the database. I’ve tried to look through the code, I think backupwp doesn’t look for MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS when connecting.

I couldn’t remember if this was something I’ve had to add into the wp-db.php but looking at another basic install which doesn’t use SSL, MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS is still in the code, so I think it’s a wordpress implementation not just me.

If you can confirm it is core wordpress, any chance of adding it for the small number of users who use MYSQL_CLIENT_FLAGS

Thanks,
