ssl sockets

Hi everyone,
I was just reading through the docs in trunk for ssl sockets.  Great to see
that ssl is making its way into APR!

At first glance, I don't see a way to wrap an ssl socket around a
pre-existing (tcp) socket.  Does this functionality exist and if not, are
there plans to add it in the future?

Thanks,
Nate

I've created an issue and attached a small patch
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43035

I think this should do the trick.

Regards,
Nate

We will need to.  Too many STARTTLS style protocols require a dynamic
upgrade of the socket to SSL encryption.

Patches are welcome ;-)
