Hi all, Is there any roadmap for Stunnel to support UDP applications? Cant a simple UDP forwarder (with proper buffering to ensure a tcp-like stream of data) do the job?

erm, but surely UDP + packet reassembly ~= TCP ?

I know there are applications (like VOIP) where maintaining a realtime connection means dropping the occasional packet, but surely this would require renegatiation of the SSL connection for each data packet! That's where protocols like IPSEC might be a better solution.

Of course you could encapsulate your UDP packets in a SSL (stunnel) wrapped TCP stream to avoid the renogation problem - this is well documented for *nix systems elsewhere.

Or did I miss something?
