NAME
       SASL::XGoogleToken - Implementation of SASL NTLM mechanism for Tcl

SYNOPSIS
       package require Tcl  8.2

       package require SASL::XGoogleToken  ?1.0.1?

______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       This package provides the XGoogleToken authentication mechanism for the
       Simple Authentication and Security Layer (SASL).

       Please read the documentation for package sasl for details.

TLS SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
       This package uses the TLS package to handle the security for https urls
       and other socket connections.

       Policy  decisions like the set of protocols to support and what ciphers
       to use are not the responsibility of TLS, nor of  this  package  itself
       however.   Such  decisions are the responsibility of whichever applica-
       tion is using the package, and are likely  influenced  by  the  set  of
       servers the application will talk to as well.

       For  example,  in light of the recent POODLE attack [http://googleonli-
       nesecurity.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/this-poodle-bites-exploiting-
       ssl-30.html] discovered by Google many servers will disable support for
       the SSLv3 protocol.  To handle this change the applications  using  TLS
       must  be  patched,  and not this package, nor TLS itself.  Such a patch
       may be as simple as generally activating tls1 support, as shown in  the
       example below.

                  package require tls
                  tls::init -tls1 1 ;# forcibly activate support for the TLS1 protocol

                  ... your own application code ...
