Description Mikhail 2013-02-05 19:09:25 UTC
Sorry, I don't found place where I can ask this question.
Why currently CURL builded with NSS crypto provider instead openssl? For me openssl much better because openssl support much more crypto algorithms (for example GOST) and have plugins architecture for extending.

Some references from the time cURL switched to NSS from OpenSSL:

Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2013-02-06 12:33:52 UTC
We intentionally build libcurl against nss.  The lack of GOST crypto algorithms needs to be addressed in nss.  There are some upstream bugs for adding the GOST crypto algorithms to nss:

Comment 3 Mikhail 2013-02-06 14:15:16 UTC
You can use follow command for test GOST support in curl
$ curl -F 'test=foo' https://icrs.nbki.ru/products/B2BRequestServlet

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 5 Kai Engert (:kaie) (inactive account) 2016-11-18 13:09:04 UTC
Requests for additional ciphers must be submitted to the upstream Mozilla NSS project at bugzilla.mozilla.org
