I agree that it would be better to have a generalized approach. Here's a relevant excerpt from gnutls-cli(1): -s, --starttls Connect, establish a plain session and start TLS when EOF or a SIGALRM is received. this looks like a perfect solution except maybe when dealing with a tricky binary protocol requiring you to perform multiple authentication steps before a <starttls>.
