A few comments ...
We don't need to use two ports if we either use a "STARTTLS"-style
upgrading of unencrypted to encrypted connections (which is the
recommended way to do things instead of using two ports), or more simply
we just ditch unencrypted connections. They're disabled by default
anyway and not in any way required unless we want libvirt to build
without GnuTLS.
Well if we can implement the detection automatically, I'm all for reducing
to a single port !
I still want to be able to build without the dependancy and optionally
allow unencrypted connections.
No one got my ZX81 joke, obviously ...
Ahum, I certainly didn't, my childhood memory includes an UNIVAC but no ZX81!
Heh
