Re: variable 'ssl' is not declared

[m k <mpmab1 () gmail com>]

Hi All,

Based on your feedback I undertook the following steps:

Using the following command  to get the version:  nmap -V
The result was this: Nmap version 5.51 ( http://nmap.org )

And using the -d2 option the following output shown below was produced
(If there is anything else i can do at my end please let me know).
Also while the error message below is for the dns-zone-transfer.nse
script,  this error occurs in a number of the nmap scripts :
