[Bro] Bro communication via SSL

[Robin Sommer]

Hi all,

I'd like to understand to which degree folks are currently using Bro's
built-in support for doing Bro-to-Bro or Bro-to-Broccoli communication
via SSL.

My hunch is that not many installations are using this, though I know
a few that do (note that if you haven't configured SSL specifically,
you are not using it :-).

Those who do use SSL for Bro communication, would it be an option to
replace it with something externally like stunnel?

I'm asking because we're planing to rework the communication layer
quite a bit. Not only has supporting SSL directly been quite a pain in
the past, but we'd also be more flexbile in terms of leveraging
external libraries if SSL were not crucial.

Robin
