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>.
(sorry for mentioning gnutls on this list)
Happy New Year!
