A common way of avoiding to write your own SAX parser is to hand it
only chunks that are known to come before TLS. The easiest solution is
to hand it one byte at a time, and check whether TLS has started; you
could hand it chunks that end in '>' as well, although I suspect that
checking on '>' yourself is extra unnecessary overhead, since that's
done in the parser anyway.
