Description
Since Wireshark can't decrypt modern TLS traffic (forward secrecy), it would be nice for ipptool to provide a way to log all traffic going over a connection to a file so that the decrypted data is available for analysis.

Research direction
Start by locating ipptool and the code that manages an http_t connection. Trace how IPP/HTTP traffic passes through the connection and determine the interface needed to write decrypted traffic to a file; done means traffic can be captured for analysis while using modern TLS.
