Hello, We are producing a client-server-application which makes use of SSL. The (UNIX hosted) servers answer on connect to its port with some kind of GoodMorning message, always in clear text, like for example
200 SLNP CATserver@version:4.3@user:sisis@ssl:true i.e. the server says with 'ssl:true' (or ssl:false) if it now switches for the rest of the communication to SSL (or stays in clear text). This is for historical reasons to support also clients, which are not SSL aware. We can not test such server anymore with openssl s_client -connect server:port because the s_client does not await the clear text GM message. I would like to do as well tests with s_client and produced a special version of our servers (controlled by an env var on start) which do not spill out the GM message and just start awaiting a client talking SSL. This works fine with s_client, but I'd like to have some way to not start special servers to test with s_client... Any idea how to let accept s_client the clear text before using SSL?
