LibreSSL question

[0181532686cf4a31163be0bf3e6bb6732bf]

Hi,

Thanks for enabling providing openssl-compatible library for Amiga!
I have a question regarding portability. Why openssl was chosen as a base when this implementation exists: https://github.com/libressl-portable/portable ? Would it be possible to incorporate all improvements over standard openssl tree into some patch and try to rebase it on top of libressl?

Probably the main reason is because AmiSSL was created almost 20 years old and LibreSSL did not exist then?

AmiSSL could in theory be extended to support different SSL libraries, but LibreSSL is forked of an old buggy OpenSSL base, whilst most of the improvements are already present in the latest OpenSSL. OpenSSL is more up to date with the latest standards and is more portable.
