NAME

ARGUMENTS
session An open TLS session
hostname The hostname of the server connected to. This may be left
blank, in which case only the validity of the certificate will be
checked. It is much more secure to specify a hostname, so that it can
be confirmed that the host connected to is the expected one.

This should be called before sending or receiving confidential data on
the connection.
