But nobody asked for anything from scratch Eric. Open SSL is it complete ready to integrate package. Any developer worth his salt should be able to put it on any web application. In addition to OpenSSL, there are very compact commercial SSL libraries such as Mocana NanoSSL and wolfSSL, if you

Not at all, what I'm recommending is that people who develop something that is specialized (like netflow analysis software) don't need to expend the person-hours and extensive development time to implement something that has already been better implemented by people who are httpd specialists. The

While I agree that, yes everything SHOULD support TLS, there's a perfectly good reason for terminating TLS in something like (nginx/caddy/apache/etc): X number of things supporting TLS on their web interface means X number of ways of configuring TLS. If I terminate it on nginx, there's only

People who advocate TLS lash-ups like nginx front ends remind me of Mr. Beans DIY automobile security, which started with a screwed-on metal hasp and padlock, and then continued to a range of additional “layers”. Not “defense-in-depth”, merely unwarranted “complexity-in-depth”:
