TLS certificate support

[swails]

Hi,

I wasn't completely sure that this project was still active, but recent activity on #28 suggests that's not necessarily true. I'm working on SSL/TLS support in my own fork (with support for anonymous encryption with self-signed certs). Would that be a welcome addition as a PR here? I believe encryption adds a bit of overhead to the bandwidth consumption, so I wanted the stress testing done with that turned on (since it will be in production for my needs).

I'm not tackling client certs since that's not part of my use-case, but it should presumably be straightforward to make the addition if someone wanted it.

Thanks.

I'm not actively using it myself anymore/rightnow, but I'll do my best to merge things. There's already support for TLS-PSK, but I hadn't needed cert based stuff, I'm sure someone would find it useful :) In general, SSL is virtually zero overhead until your packet sizes get "large" as the main cost is only at connection time.

+1 for @swails 's suggestion. I am personally working on TLS and self-signed --cafile based mosquitto server. So, I feel that would be a great addition to test my service.

Please see my earlier comment. I'm sure it would be a useful addition, and I' try and merge any PR that adds this. However, I'm not working on it myself.

Hi there
Is SSL/TLS support available now?
How to access and use it?
Thanks

Please read the earlier comments.

As per the previous comments, it does not talk about how to use this tool with TLS.
Can you please carify

As mentioned, every time, #29 (comment) there is no support for certificate based authentication. A Pull request would be reviewed. TLS-PSK is supported. I've locked this because, as before, I'm not working on this, and saying the same thing every time is tedious.
