https://wiki.qt-project.org/Hacking_on_Qts_SSL_Support > Hi Richard, looks really good! For Qt 4, the idea was to have several backends like you write here. Still we ended up with only one, and it's not really that much of a well-define backend. Especially considering it's the only one ;-). The other options I imagined were GnuTLS [*], and using native SSL support should that exist. Today the backend separation is still around but it only complicates the code unless there truly are other backends to support. What are your thoughts on this? Andreas [*] http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/ - dropped because it clearly staged it was in early Alpha stage at the time, which I find to be really scary for a security framework, and currently I don't think the licensing looks very interesting. If OpenSSL does the job then why use GnuTLS? -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen
