tls.el starts talking TLS to the server directly. starttls.el, however,
does not begin talking TLS until the application calls
starttls-negotiate. In other words, starttls.el allows an unencrypted
phase before the encrypted phase starts.
Would it be hard to extend tls.el to provide a way to do this?
tls.el can use openssl and gnutls. starttls.el can use gnutls and a
tool called 'starttls'.
What is the point of `starttls'? For what purpose is it useful
to use that, rather than GNUtls?
