tlsproxy
========

`tlsproxy` is a TLS proxy written with GnuTLS. It is mostly designed as an
example of how to use asynchronous (non-blocking) I/O with GnuTLS. More
accurately, it was designed so I could learn how to do it. I think I've
got it right.

To that end, it's been divided up as follows:

* `crypto.c` does all the crypto, and `tlssession_mainloop()` does the hard work.
* `buffer.c` provides ring buffer support.
* `tlsproxy.c` deals with command line options and connecting sockets.

It can be used in two modes:

* Client mode (default). Listens on an unencrypted port, connects to
  an encrypted port.
* Server mode (run with `-s`). Listens on an encrypted port, connects to
  an unencrypted port.
