Is the lack of response to this because:
1) No one knows?
2) The coding, tests, or debugging for this area still aren't complete?
3) This is considered an OpenSSL question and not cURL? I can easily post
to the openssl-users list.
4) I should ask somewhere else?
5) I need to RTM? (A URL would be appreciated, I think I've been through
everyhing in the standard docs. I'd be happy to verify an alpha/beta doc.)
6) Something else?

Thanks.
Tony
