A few hours ago, I started to wonder how much trouble it would be to make https.c understand gnutls instead of openssl.
The answer is: If you borrow liberally from the public domain code in the gnutls manual, then not very much!
So here's a toy for anyone who would like one: http://www.dillo.org/test/gnutls.0.patch
Quite interesting.
AFAIS from the patch it's doing more or less the same as the current https dpi. It looks like this dpi's certificate handling code may be easier to complete with GNU TLS.
What's the motivation for the switch?
- It's pleasing to using something GPLed and not have special linking exceptions in the license. - I get the impression that people are starting to look at openssl a little like they did with gtk1 ("How many programs do I have that still require it? Can I get rid of it?")
