Sachin,

We are precluded from building a light-weight HTTP server implementation
by the project charter due to political reasons. This is the reason why
we are mainly focusing on developing core and client-side HTTP
components for the time being.   

Development of a custom SSL engine is clearly out of the project scope.
Besides, none of us is a cryptography expert to begin with. Why would
you want to develop a full-blown SSL engine in the first place? 

There is another thing I would like to mention. If your development
efforts are backed and funded by a commercial company, another
possibility would be to build missing server-side components in house
and to contribute them back to the project.

Cheers

Oleg
