Is there any interest in finishing the GnuTLS support in Wget? The support currently available in the repository can be tested using `./configure --with-ssl=gnutls'. It should enable you to download from SSL servers using --no-check-certificate, but it is not yet finished. Specifically, and in decreasing order of importance:
* Certificate validation appears to be broken. At least I don't know how to make GnuTLS use the certificates installed on my system. As a workaround, you can use --no-check-certificate, but this would have to be fixed in order to advocate "GnuTLS support". * Wget's SSL/TLS-related options have not been implemented, except for --no-check-certificate. Those options were designed for OpenSSL, so they don't map to GnuTLS functionality as cleanly, but they should be managable -- Wget is not the only program ported from OpenSSL to GnuTLS. * http-ntlm.c uses OpenSSL functions for DES and MD4. Both should be available in libgcrypt, which GnuTLS itself uses. In other words, the hard part, hooking GnuTLS into Wget, has already been done. What remains is one afternoon of work for someone who understands the GnuTLS API.
