Annoyingly with OpenSSL on OSX you have to options: either use an up-to-date

It would be nice if someone would do the work to figure out whether it is
feasible to use Apple's own Crypto and TLS API's as apparently libcurl does.
This should be possible, although I don’t know if the relevant Apple API’s are
safe to use after forking (which has bitten us in the past for other Apple
APIs, such as the _scproxy extension that detects proxies on OSX).
Sadly enough I don’t really have time to look into this.
While I'm sure this isn't a newbie "easy" issue, maybe open an issue for
it on the bug tracker and someone will find it and work on it? I'd open
it myself, but I don't know enough about it to phrase the problem correctly!
Eric.
