Rob,

I think it takes a little more than this to enable SSL support. You have to
pass a different protocol ("ssl" instead of "tcp") to the socket:connect()
call for SSL connections. See showHTMLTitle.nse for an example. Also, you
may want to use the recently introduced nmap.have_ssl() to test whether Nmap
was compiled with SSL support.

Hope this helps,

Thomas
