Hello! >From looking at the mailing list I can see that a preliminary discussion about upgrading OpenSSL to 1.0.0 took plave in 2010 (http://sourceware.org/ml/cygwin-apps/2010-06/msg00174.html).
Is the upgrade going to happen? I'm asking because the currently used OpenSSL version (0.9.8) has significant problems with SSL version negotiation, that manifest e.g. in libcurl with the error: SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:reason(1112) See: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100976&aid=3395520&group_id=976 This particular error makes it practically impossible in Cygwin to use GIT over HTTPS (like provided by GitHub) - no known workaround exists that would employ environment variables or custom config files for either libcurl, Git or OpenSSL. One would have to compile OpenSSL 1.0.0, libcurl and Git by hand. Best Regards, Aleksander Adamowski
