Hole Punching and TLS are two orthogonal concepts.

The process by which two servents engage in a TLS file transfer is that the
connecting party issues a TLS request to the other TLS-enabled servent.
It knows that the remote servent is TLS-enabled due to the presence of
TLS indication in query hits, head pongs, push, alt-locs, etc....
