Hi friends,

After my talk at Fosdem I got some questions and there were voices raised
regarding our unified internal API for SSL/TLS libraries. There seems to be at
least some interest from other parties to be able to re-use it in other
projects.

I know that maintaining and offering a library with a stable API/ABI,
documentation and more is a lot of work, but I'm still curious to hear if
there are others around here who would be interested in seeing such a
development? (and of course possibly participate in making it happen)

A benefit for libcurl could be that we'd get a few more hands involved in
polishing the code for various TLS libraries. The benefit for others would be
that it would be easier for them to support a multitude of TLS libraries.

After all, the "pick your TLS library" game is widely played out there.

I wouldn't be surprised if anyone else have tried something similar already so
if anyone knows about something like this, it could be worth investigating to
see what lessons there are to learn!
