Interesting. Have you tried building it against one of the other TLS
implementations (e.g. gnutls, nss, yassl, etc?)
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/comparison.html
Would you mind publishing your packaging details? I'd be willing to
try to switch TLS implementations if that's a possiblity. i'd very
much like to see this functionality be easily accessible in debian.
Also: is it that mod_auth_openid requires linking with openssl
directly? or is it that libopkele1 links to openssl, and therefore
can't be used in a GPL'ed program?
Or is it both? the fact that libaprutil1-dev depends on libssl-dev
(via libpq-dev) makes it a bit hairy to even try to build a GPL'ed
apache module.
Nonetheless, there are many GPL'ed apache modules available, if you
believe the licensing on this page:
