I took a brief look at getting cadaver to build with gnutls, just in case it turned out to be trivial. Here is the list of missing OpenSSL symbols that cadaver looks for: SSL_peek SSL_get_version ERR_reason_error_string SSL_CTX_ctrl SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb_userdata SSL_CTX_check_private_key If anyone knows a suitable replacement for these functions within gnutls, or is inclined to work with gnutls to get these functions implemented, they might be interested in looking into this package. Patches to the cadaver build scripts for gnutls detection are available upon request. As a data point for the often-asked question of "is gnutls good enough to use as a replacement?", the undefined symbols listed above represent a little under 1/3 of the functions cadaver (libneon) uses from OpenSSL.
