when we tell the user her connection is encrypted, she expects no one
will be able to snoop on it, be it the hub or a third-party. i fear the
CCPM + unencrypted connection combo may lead users to think they are
safe, when in reality they aren't. the specifics of such a situation
would also be quite hard to explain to the user.

Title:
  CCPM and hub connection encryption

Status in AirDC++:
  New
Status in DC++:
  New

Bug description:
  I don't understand that why does DC++ require the hub connection be
  encrypted before the user can initiate CCPM connections. There's no
  such limitation for encrypted file transfers and I don't see it being
  mentioned in the extension specs either.

  DC++ won't even disallow CCPM connections via a non-encrypted ADC hub
  connection if the connection is established by another client.
