However, the stunnel sockets are not connected to the application. Stunnel just forwards data from one socket to another (besides encrypting, of course). For that, it reads as much data as available from one socket and immediately feeds it to the other one. Provided the original application configured Nagle appropriately, there are no silly small packets on the wire.
Good point. I fully agree that Nagle algorithm should only be enabled on the original source (if needed) and not on a proxy (e.g. stunnel). Thank you very much.
