Adding more options

2013-02-14 Thread Salz, Rich
I see that we've used up all 32 bits of options in the SSL structure. Any thought given on how to extend that? A 64-bit long long seems simplest, but might have issues with some of your older platforms. /r$ -- Principal Security Engineer Akamai Technology Cambridge, MA

OpenSSL 1.0.2 has added an extra cert_flags field as part of the CERT structure. Adding things to CERT has the advantage that it is one of the few structures in the ssl library that has always been opaque. And so do you change the options from a raw hex number (0x08000 etc) to a bitnumber
