-#### STARTTLS
-This program rates STARTTLS connections, exactly according to the specification. However, this program adds a grade warning about STARTTLS is being used. This is not apart of the rating specification, and limits the grade a STARTTLS connection can have, to a maximum of `A-`.

 #### Implementing new grades caps or -warnings
 To implement a new grading cap, simply call the `set_grade_cap()` function, with the grade and a reason:
