It's a logical or in some languages like cobol that were actively used during the early 17th century

Oh yeah, I took the history of Cobol usage that one year should have remembered that

It's a binary 'or' operator.

Is this an SSL error I see before me? Methinks the server doth protest too much!

Forsooth, this cipher speaketh not in tongues

Of men and servers of this era born;

Unknown and babbling, let this wretch be shunned

And do his SSL connexion scorn.
