Brian P. HInz updated SERF-27:
------------------------------
    Attachment: serf-1.3.7-pkcs11.patch

The attached patch file adds support for PKCS11 tokens via engine_pkcs11.  
Please consider it for inclusion in serf.  I'm not familiar with scons, and 
didn't know how to alter SConstruct so that PKCS11 is an optional compile-time 
feature.  I think that probably needs to be fixed so that pre-processor 
statements can be added that nullify this change if PKCS11 support isn't 
desired.  Perhaps someone else can assist with that?  I've only been able to 
test against two modules (both software-based), but both of them work pretty 
well.  The nice thing about this approach is that it adds support for PKCS11 to 
applications linked against libserf transparently.

Thanks,
-brian

> it would be nice if serf would provide a hook to configure cryptography 
> modules for reading ssl client certificates of smartcards, the same as web 
> browsers do.
> e.g. in mozilla firefox there is such a possibility in preferences - 
> advanced - cryptography modules. e.g. in windows you may add a pkcs11 dll 
> that way which then shows up when you list your certificates.
