### STARTTLS
In the v0.4 branch no function exists for starting a TLS session on an
already existing TCP connection. This is possible it just requires a bit of
work. The technique is to use `tls.createSecurePair()` which returns two
streams: an encrypted stream and a plaintext stream. The encrypted stream is then
piped to the socket, the plaintext stream is what the user interacts with thereafter.
[Here is some code that does it.](http://gist.github.com/848444)
### tls.Server
This class is a subclass of `net.Server` and has the same methods on it.
