Ah, good point. > the solutions are fix the OpenSSL licensing or make GnuTLS not suck; I Or switch to something else. > have no hope of either occurring. I understand your lack of hope wrt. the licensing situation and I suppose switching to another SSL/TLS library is unlikely at this point. I do hold out some hope that issues like this in GnuTLS (or in the software using GnuTLS?) can get fixed, though. -- Michael Wood <esiot...@gmail.com> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources and provide services.
