Package: openssl
Version: 1.0.1c-4
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
The manpage for s_client claims that currently, the only supported
keywords for -starttls are "smtp", "pop3", "imap", and "ftp".
But since "xmpp" works perfectly, I suppose ther might be
even more supported protocols ?
* What led up to the situation?
debugging ssl connections to my jabber server
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
read the manpage of s_client and thought "-starttls xmpp"
was not supported.
* What was the outcome of this action?
googling, searching and trying. Realizing it actually was supported
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Reading the manpage and knowing the capabilities
