That is one heck of a sub-title :"make SSL less of a nightmare" Not that I disagree.
Haha, yeah I figured I should make it a tradition and subtitle the analysis with a quote from one of the suggestions. I'm not sure making SSL "less of a nightmare" is within reach for us but I liked how that request to gave an air of hope that we out of all people would be able to solve such a thorny issue.
Possibly the request meant that we should "make SSL [in curl] less of a nightmare", but I don't think it is a nightmare by any means for users of curl or libcurl. It could perhaps be considered closing in to a nightmare for us who try to actually add features and things in curl's TLS layer [for insights into that, see the HTTPS-proxy pull request on github]...
