> The `javax.net.debug` TLS debug option is buggy since TLSv1.3 implementation was introduced many years ago.
> 
> Where "ssl" was previously a value to obtain all TLS debug traces (except network type dumps, verbose data), it now prints only a few lines for a standard client TLS connection. 
> 
> The property parsing was also lax and allowed users to declare verbose logging options by themselves where the documentation stated that such verbose options were only meant to be used in conjunction with other TLS options :

>         System.err.println("help           print the help messages");
>         System.err.println("expand         expand debugging information");

>         System.err.println("all            turn on all debugging");
>         System.err.println("ssl            turn on ssl debugging");
>         System.err.println();
>         System.err.println("The following can be used with ssl:");
>         System.err.println("\trecord       enable per-record tracing");
