Hello,
We currently support GSS-API with libcurl using three different libraries.
As I just added a test case that runs code not previously run in the test
suite, I spot what looks like a memory leak in Heimdal.
The Heimdal project looks rather abandoned when I look at their GitHub
repository. (Not a commit in six months and all builds reported failing.)
In order to protect our users against leaks and a stale third party
dependency, I want to drop support for Heimdal and focus users toward MIT krb5
or GNU GSS instead.
Thoughts? Objections?
