We want to add a switch to openssl's zlib compression methord
Hi, Openssl Developpers: We have a platform with cryptographic hardware,and we try to take advantage of the platform's hardware cryptographic features.But openSSL compresses data before the encryption, having a massive performance impact(throughput decrease, CPU load increase) on platforms with cryptographic hardware. There are probably two methords to work-around it: * environment variable, the attached patch is written for this methord. it's produced against oepnssl version 0.9.8, it other versions also need the patch,we are glad to submit it. * add an item to configure file openssl.cnf. What do you think about this? Thank you very much for your reply. best, Guanjun __ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org

What do you think about this? Again, I think this should be configured via an option on the SSL_CTX.
