SYNOPSIS

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  package  provides  the  XGoogleToken  authentication  mechanism  for  the Simple Authentication and
       Security Layer (SASL).

       Please read the documentation for package sasl for details.

TLS SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

       This package uses the TLS package to handle the security for https urls and other socket connections.

       Policy decisions like the set of protocols to support and what ciphers to use are not the  responsibility
       of  TLS,  nor  of  this  package  itself  however.   Such  decisions  are the responsibility of whichever
       application is using the package, and are likely influenced by the set of servers  the  application  will
       talk to as well.

       For        example,        in        light        of        the        recent        POODLE        attack
       [http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/this-poodle-bites-exploiting-ssl-30.html]  discovered
       by  Google  many  servers  will  disable  support  for  the  SSLv3  protocol.   To handle this change the
       applications using TLS must be patched, and not this package, nor TLS itself.  Such a  patch  may  be  as
       simple as generally activating tls1 support, as shown in the example below.

                  package require tls
                  tls::init -tls1 1 ;# forcibly activate support for the TLS1 protocol

                  ... your own application code ...
