2.2 Does curl work/build with other SSL libraries?
- Curl has been written to use OpenSSL, GnuTLS, yassl, NSS, PolarSSL, axTLS or
- qssl, although there should not be many problems using a different
- library. If anyone does "port" curl to use a different SSL library, we are
- of course very interested in getting the patch!
+ Curl has been written to use a generic SSL function layer internally, and
+ that SSL functionality can then be provided by one out of many different SSL
+ backends.
+
+ curl can be built to use one of the following SSL alternatives: OpenSSL,
+ GnuTLS, yassl, NSS, PolarSSL, axTLS, Darwinssl, schannel (native Windows) or
+ qssl. They all have their pros and cons, and we try to maintain a comparison
+ of them here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/ssl-compared.html
