I have seen that curl_easy_getinfo() provides several options to fetch
relevant information. I was just wondering why it does not provide any
option to fetch the SSL context, i.e. SSL pointer, from SSL_ctx.
Is there any particular reason for it? this might be a good feature for
implementing proprietary stuffs.
Sure, the primary reason is probably:
Those are all OpenSSL-specific pointers and libcurl can use any out of
seven different SSL libraries.
And also, for those who use libcurl built with OpenSSL there is already the
CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION curl_easy_setopt option which offers something
similar to what you ask for.
