Hello!

I am a bit new to stunnel and while I tried to search the message archive I did not find any possible reference to the issue I try to solve.

I am running a bit older version of stunnel as a simple reverse proxy. It accepts incoming TLS connection and opens clear TCP connection to a host specified by "connect" parameter in config. I wander - it is possible to delay the opening of TCP connection to a host until the actual data is received from client? I haven't found any reference to such a possibility in stunnel but thought that it worth to ask from community. The issue is that due to the nature of traffic there are instances then client negotiates the SSL connection but there is no actual data to be sent by the client. By opening the connection to host only when actual data is present would filter out unnecessary connections towards the application. Anybody had such an issue to solve?
