Re: an experiment using mbed TLS

OpenSSL is such a notorious nightmare--one gets the distinct
impression that the developers have not taken their responsibility
seriously--that I was curious to try a different one that is
supposed to be more comprehensible.

mbed tls had been on my mind as something I might want to try
someday after they implement OCSP stapling, but then I was just in
the mood for it the other day.

As for how practical it would ever be to have this code in the real
dillo someday, I think that comes down to: How good are distributions
at making security updates available for their more obscure packages?

I was thinking how if someone did get the idea in their head that
they wanted a small browser that works with mbed tls, dillo might
not be the first choice.
