well, unless we talk about starttls, which requires actual protocol handling
in the "child" protocol, there isn't really much to it. the rfc would be
quite boring really. "1) establish ssl connection. 2) carry out telnet
connection over it". that's the only difference between https/http,
imaps/imap, etc. too.
