Right! That, or I otherwise encounter some kind of asymmetry where one side, whether it is a client or server, implements/requires speaking TLS whereas the otherside isn't readily equipped to do so.

I've found stunnel a godsend for bridging the gap. Granted, I am more of a sysadmin-ey type where a few times I've had to abruptly/quickly get something up and running.
