--------------------
Connecting
----------
In order to connect to an SSL-enabled server, a given server's "server-spec"
must be defined correctly in order for /CONNECT to establish the connection.
Example:
<some SSL-enabled server>:<port>:<pass>:<nick>:<group>:IRC-SSL
(Please note that only the first and last fields are mandatory to establish
an SSL connection.)
Alternatively, you may use the function $serverctl(SET <refnum> SSL) to change
the connection strategy for a server that already exists in your server list.
Scripting support
-----------------
The function, cipher(), will return cipher type used in an already established
SSL server connection.
The function, isencrypted(), is supplied to determine whether or not a given
server connection is SSL-enabled or not.
The hook, SSL_SERVER_CERT, will return server certificate information (if any)
after a server connection is established. WARNING: This is hook is subject
to change in the future. Please do not rely on the output you receive from
this hook. You have been warned.
A new status indicator, %|, has been added to show a server SSL/RAW connection
status.
