Saw commit 3738de3bd1efd7f3769443f9cbc485bd7ea4c397 about NSS deprecation two days ago. I'll voice a few counterpoints:
> There are very few users left who use curl+NSS At the moment, only the NSS version of curl supports PKCS#11 card certificate based client authentication. > There are very few users left who use curl+NSS AFAIK most cross OS browsers use NSS. At least Chrome and Opera link to it. > NSS is harder than ever to find documentation for Uh. Have to somewhat agree here. Although they seem to have gotten their documentation rework somewhate done starting with https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/security/nss/releases/nss_3_64.html A lot of their docs are still buried under legacy though, like https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/security/nss/legacy/pkcs11/index.html > NSS was always "best" used with Red Hat Linux when they provided additionalfeatures on top of the regular NSS that isn't shipped by the vanilla library Not sure what these features are, but I've used NSS on Ubuntu 18.04 via Evolution for Email signing and curl(nss) for REST calls. Replicated the curl(nss) functionality on Ubuntu 20.04 just this tuesday. -- Best regards, Eero Aaltonen -- Unsubscribe: https://lists.haxx.se/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
