+=============

+ - ``--ns-cert-type`` is deprecated.  Use ``--remote-cert-tls`` instead.

+   The nsCertType x509 extension is very old, and barely used.

+   ``--remote-cert-tls`` uses the far more common keyUsage and extendedKeyUsage

+   extension instead.  Make sure your certificates carry these to be able to

+   use ``--remote-cert-tls``.
