Re: OpenSSL < v3 ?

Hi,

how would this affect the ability to use aws-lc, which seems to aim at being API compatible with OpenSSL 1.1.1? (This might have changed meanwhile?)

Right now it works well with curl, and it would be quite sad if this stops to work, given the performance issues of OpenSSL 3.x. [1]

Thanks,

Patrick

Hi team,

The OpenSSL project themselves doesn't support any version before 3.0, so presumably there are also no security updates for older versions anymore etc. That makes them insecure options to use.

Is there any reason we should keep support for OpenSSL < v3 in curl ?

Right now we support 1.0.2a or later.
