Patch for mod_ssl to add NPN hooks
OpenSSL 1.0.1 added support for TLS Next Protocol Negotiation (NPN) [1], a
feature which allows client and server to negotiate what protocol should be
used over the secure connection. I propose adding hooks into mod_ssl to allow
other modules to access this feature. In particular, this would open the door
for a module that would support SPDY [2], a performance-improving protocol that
is now supported by (at least) Google Chrome, Amazon Silk, Firefox (targeting
FF11), and Strangeloop, but not yet by Apache httpd. (Not coincidentally, I am
working on implementing such a module.)
The changes needed to mod_ssl are pretty simple; I have a small patch here that
adds these hooks. The patch attached below was made against the httpd-2.2.x
branch, but of course I would be happy to modify the patch as necessary for
other version(s).
