It's a part of a project, where I need another part between the Scanner and 
Manager, which edits messages of the communication (instead of starting 3 tests 
in one task, starting 3 tasks with one test each...).

Later I wanted to go back to the encryption, but I thought, it would be easier 
for debugging to use plaintext. But if this is too much work for just 
debugging, maybe I should use the OpenVAS-functions in my tool for connecting 
with SSL/TLS. Is there a documentation about the used function for the 
encrypted connection? It's not quite clear after reading the documentation.

And another question: Is the Manager connecting to the Scanner or the Scanner 
to the Manager? I mean, which part is acting as a server and which as a client?

Many thanks for your help.
