"Doing TLS based transfers without having the TLS layer initialized may lead
to unexpected behaviors. "

Crashes - the ultimate unexpected behavior. ;)

Now I get past that only to discover that this printer is so old that WinSSL
refuses to talk to it. Neither will SeaMonkey (Mozilla). So I need to figure
out how to allow libcurl to be as permissive as possible, taking the best
security it can get when forced to go HTTPS. But that's another thread, I
guess, if I can't find something by searching. And maybe another day given
other things that are biting me right now... :(

Thanks!
