Between me sending my email and receiving this I had gone and read the 
source code and figured out what was going on here. But thanks for 
clarifying.

I had also tested this by adding and removing the parameter and seeing 
what happened. In my case it sent it to ssh which is undesirable as I 
would rather it went to ssl. Makes sense though if it uses the first one 
that is specified as for me that is ssh. Now I know that I can change 
the order.

One other thing I noticed from reading the source code is that --tls 
and --ssl appear to use the same probe. So does this mean there is no 
actual difference between the two options and both will do the same 
thing and are just provided for personal preference?

Thanks very much for the new version anyway, looks good!

Cheers, Matt.
