I disagree. We support a wide variety of TLS backends for libcurl and most of
them work for Windows too. Sure you can chose to go with Schannel if you want
to, but I don't think we whould or need to push users that way rather than all
the other choices.
We should rather work on improving the documentation to make it easier to
build with any of them.
Also, at first, when I built curl with *no* SSL backend, $curl -V would still
print:
curl 7.79.1 (Windows) libcurl/7.79.1 Schannel
which means the curl tool executable uses the Schannel SSL backend no matter
what, and indeed something like:
I don't believe this. When it says 'Schannel' there, it was built with TLS
support and with Schannel specifically. The code shows this.
