Thank you! Thank is great info for me if I ever need SSH (meaning
SSL with the protocol). It may also help the original person as he
may be able to solve his problem using inetd and openssh ... which is
easy and reliable and works great if you have remotely reasonable
traffic. Also, way less coding :-) Eric

It would be REALLY cool if you could make a wrapper on stunnel to
handle the "H" protocol portion as I could certainly use it.
The "H" parts are not in openssl because they are in the openssh
"addon" to openssl.
There is such a wrapper, it is the SSH command itself from openssh (which uses
openssl for crypto).
There is also another such wrapper for Windows, it is called "plink" from the
"putty" product (also open source).
Either can be invoked with options to act similar to "openssl
stunnel" (passing
standard input to the other end and passing the other ends output to
standard out).
Both also support a different "SSH tunneling" mechanism for passing through
TCP connections in parallel to its "main" connection. All the tunneled TCP
connections are transmitted inside the same encrypted TCP connection as
the "main" connection.
