Hi,
I've just found out about the upcoming deprecation of the NSS support while
trying to build curl with it. I'd like to point out a current use case for
using curl+NSS as part of "curl-impersonate", a curl fork that I maintain and
is available at https://github.com/lwthiker/curl-impersonate. NSS is used there
to configure curl to look like Firefox when it comes to the TLS handshake. The
project seems to have quite a substantial number of users using it currently,
and specifically the Firefox mode.
I understand that "looking like a browser" is probably not one of the major
goals of the curl project. However, in today's reality it is unfortunately
becoming a necessity in many situations, even legitimate ones. It has found
usage with security researchers, for example.
Anyway, just letting the list know of this possibly-important use case.
Whatever the decision comes to be it will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
lwthiker
