-<H3>
-Description</H3>
-SSLTap opens a socket on a rendezvous port, and waits for an incoming connection
-(client side). Once this connection arrives, SSLTap makes another connection
-to hostname:port (server side). It passes any data sent by the client to
-the server, and vice versa. However, SSLTap will also display the data
-to the console. It can do this for plain HTTP connections, or any TCP protocol.
-However, SSLTap can also work with SSL streams, as detailed below.
-
-<P>Let's assume your development machine is called 'intercept'. The simplest
-usage of SSLTap is to run the command <TT>'ssltap www.netscape.com:80'</TT>
-on intercept. The program will wait for an incoming connection on port
-1924. Next you would want to go to your browser, and enter the URL http://intercept:1924.
-The page retrieved by the browser will actually be gotten from the server
-at www.netscape.com, but will go via SSLTap.
-
-<P>Data sent from the client to the server is surrounded by a '--> [ ]'
-symbol, and data sent from the server to the client, a '&lt;---[&nbsp;
-]' symbol.
-
-<P>You'll notice that the page retrieved with this example looks incomplete.
-This is because SSLTap by default closes down after the first connection
-is complete, so the browser is not able to load images. To make the SSLTap
-continue to accept connections, switch on looping mode with the -l option.
-
-<P>You can change the default rendezvous port to something else with the
--p option.
-
-<P>The remaining options change the way the output is produced.
-
-<P>The -f option prints 'fancy' output - in colored HTML. Data sent from
-the client to the server is in blue. The server's reply is in red. This
-is designed so you can load the output up into a browser. When used with
-looping mode, the different connections are separated with horizontal lines.
-
-<P>-x will turn on HEX printing. Instead of being output as ascii, the
-data is shown as Hex, like this:
-<UL><TT>&lt;-- [</TT>
-<BR><TT>&nbsp;&nbsp; 0: 56 d5 16 3e&nbsp; a1 6b b1 4a&nbsp; 8f 67 c4 d7&nbsp;

-SSL Parse mode</H4>
-The following options deal with SSL connections.
-<UL>-s will turn on SSL parsing. (SSLTap doesn't automatically detect SSL
-sessions.)
-<BR>-x will turn on extra SSL hexdumps. Mostly, if SSL can decode the data,
-it doesn't display the hex.</UL>
-The following SSL3 Data structures are parsed: Handshake, ClientHello,
-ServerHello, CertificateChain, Certificate. In addition, SSL2 ClientHello,
-ServerHello, ClientMasterKey are also partly parsed. NO DECRYPTION IS PERFORMED
-ON THE DATA. SSLTAP CANNOT DECRYPT the data.
-
-<P>If a certificate chain is detected, DER-encoded certificates will be
-saved into files in the current directory called 'cert.0x' where x is the
-sequence number of the certificate.
-<BR>&nbsp;
-<H3>
-Operation Hints</H3>
-Often, you'll find that the server certificate does not get transferred,
-or other parts of the handshake do not happen. This is because the browser
-is taking advantage of session-id-reuse (using the handshake results from
-a previous session). If you restart the browser, it'll clear the session
-id cache.
-
-<P>If you run the ssltap on a different machine that the ssl server you're
-trying to connect to, the browser will complain that the host name you're
-trying to connect to is different to the certificate, but it will still
-let you connect, after showing you a dialog.
