Summary: check_jabber forces SSL

Initial Comment:
Hi,

if check_tcp is called as check_jabber it forces the
SSL flag to be set and thus fails to check jabber
daemons without SSL. 

There are reasons to use jabber without SSL, e.g. when
client certificates are required. Since jabberd does
not support this feature, it must be used with stunnel. 

Since check_tcp does not support client certificates,
it must check the unencrypted port directly, which is
impossible due to the SSL enforcement.

regards
Hadmut

hi hadmut,

would a better solution be to introduce client cert
checking?  this was on my todo list for check_tcp quite a
while ago but i never got around to it largely because i
don't have any setups that require it.  if you'd be
interested in pursuing this and have a server i could test
with maybe we could work together on this?
