RE: curl and IBM GSKit (re: Does anyone build curl or libcurl without TLS support?)

A fair question, which even occurred to me while I was typing the previous. Thinking about it more, we aren’t really ‘reliant’ on the non TLS version (in a ‘production’ sense) it just makes our lives easier for various reasons to be able to build common components in some environments where we don’t (or don’t ‘yet’) have the GSKit integration available.

So not a strong argument for retaining the facility to build without TLS, though we’d be mildly sad to lose it (and maybe it would affect other users in similar ‘process rather than technical’ ways).

This triggered my curiosity! How so? Why do you need to build without TLS
cleanly in order to have a working TLS backend patched in?
Or what did I misunderstand?
