There isn't? I saw some arguments that explain why it's not possible to convert all curl-using applications from OpenSSL to GNUTLS without a recompile due to unavailable ABI changes, but I thought it was pretty clear that the default going forward should be the one whose license is maximally compatible with that of applications using libcurl (i.e., GNUTLS). -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
