Is anyone currently working on adding support for the win32 functions needed to establish a TLS connection? Is this the appropriate place to add them, or would they belong in a separate package?
The need here is that I would like to write a library analogous to Rust's native-tls crate, which uses the system-native TLS implementation on as many platforms as possible. This is preferred in some cases over bundling a TLS implementation with the application, because it can receive security updates and enhancements without intervention from the application's maintainer. Moreover, it allows the application to respect system-wide configuration, like the set of trusted root CA's.
This is a feature request, but if nobody else is working on it or wants to work on it, I can do it When I Have Spare Time (TM).
