This commit makes two improvements to httprelayserver.py: 1. Restore POST body draining logic (fortra#913): - Re-applies fix originally merged in 2021 by Rcarnus. - Ensures POST request bodies are consumed before returning 401 Unauthorized. - Fixes WSUS and other web clients that retry authentication on the same TCP stream. 2. Add HTTPS/TLS support with improved logging: - Introduce optional SSL context when --https, --certfile, and --keyfile are provided. - Wrap inbound sockets with TLS, logging negotiated protocol/cipher on success. - On failures, log SSL error details, flagging early EOFs (likely client cert rejection). - Add startup banner showing port, IPv6/HTTPS status for clarity. Together these changes allow ntlmrelayx to: - Correctly handle WSUS POST-based authentication flows. - Relay over HTTPS endpoints (e.g., WSUS 8531) with real certs or self-signed. - Provide more useful debug information for operators.
