I don't think socat does. But one can use start-stop-daemon to manage things for you. The /etc/init.d/rsync file contains an example of doing such using --make-pidfile and so forth. > > Some time ago Reco and I were discussing this and Reco noted that curl > > uses openssl while wget uses gnutls.

Yes. I was just keeping neutral in the debate. I note the problem, and agree it is a problem, and hope that gnutls improves. My own problem with gnutls is that it seems it requires *all* of the certificate chains to verify valid instead of *any* of them. Meaning that some sites that only include a valid certificate chain for one path but have at least one path not fully valid will fail the wget gnutls test but will work with a web browser and (apparently) libnss.

Good update. I hadn't internalized that the web browsers used libnss instead of openssl. Thanks! Bob
