;;; Commentary:

;; This package implements a simple wrapper around "gnutls-cli" to
;; make Emacs support TLS/SSL.
;;
;; Usage is the same as `open-network-stream', i.e.:
;;
;; (setq tmp (open-tls-stream "test" (current-buffer) "news.mozilla.org" 563))
;; ...
;; #<process test>
;; (process-send-string tmp "mode reader\n")
;; 200 secnews.netscape.com Netscape-Collabra/3.52 03615 NNRP ready ...
;; nil
;; (process-send-string tmp "quit\n")
;; 205
;; nil

;; To use this package as a replacement for ssl.el by William M. Perry
;; <wmperry@cs.indiana.edu>, you need to evaluate the following:
