[HACKERS] New SSL code to be removed

2002-09-25 Thread Bruce Momjian

Because the new 7.3 SSL code doesn't work (per Peter), and the author is
not responding, I am about to yank out that code.  Peter suggests
ripping out all the new code rather than try to pick around and remove
just the broken parts.

Agreed. I allways wondered what SSL DB-connections are good for.

I am not going to rip out SSL, just the changes.  We do have people who
use SSL quite a bit.  Looking at the code, however, I may see an easy
way to allow SSL connections without requiring server certificates.  If
that is doable, I may just make that change and let the rest of the code
stay.

I am now in email contact with Bear and he is assisting me in disabling
all certificates for 7.3.  The code will be marked as NOT_USED and can
therefore be enables in later relases.  He wants to get back this.
