Carl Harris commented on Improvement LOGBACK-815
I'll be more than happy to provide a patch, but I can't seem to find your repository on github.

I think I might have partially answered your question about the end-point with issue LOGBACK-816. My goal here is to create an SSL-capable SocketAppender subclass that can be configured (via Joran) with the various resources needed for an SSLContext, and to create the corresponding SSL-capable SimpleSocketServer subclass for the remote endpoint. In order to do that, I need the suggested modifications to SocketAppenderBase and SimpleSocketServer -- otherwise I end up duplicating a lot of the work you already put into these classes.
