A small pet peeve of mine is that the
--ssloption enables TLS, not SSL. I accept that the tech world uses these related but different terms interchangeably, but I'd rather be more correct by default.To do:
--ssloption with--tls.a. Note that this enables "TLS/SSL" in the documentation so it doesn't confuse people.
b. The short option
-Scould stay the same, having it stand for "Secure".--ssloption as an alias for--tls.a. Note in the documentation that it's an alias
b. In the code, if
sslis specified, translate it directly into thetlsoption.c. If for some reason the user specifies both options, like
--tls --no-ssl, consider--tlsto be the authoritative option (i.e. allow thetlsoption to overridessl).
