[JDEV] c2s with SSL and SRV records

[Jan Niehusmann]

Hi!

While thinking about how to implement the use of SRV records in a jabber
client, I noticed that there is no special protocol name for SSL
connections. So, when searching for a jabber server, I can only retrieve
SRV records for _jabber-client._tcp.servername.tld.

If I point that record to the normal jabber port (usually 5222), SSL
connections won't work, and vice versa.

Did I miss something, or is there no simple solution for this problem?
Should we make the jabber servers accept both encrypted and unencrypted
connections on the same port? Or do we need another protocol name
(eg. query _jabber-ssl-client._tcp.servername.tld for SSL connections)?
