Hi Daniel, Is this problem fixed in the latest version? What about the question 2 which related to openssl callbacks in multi-thread?
As Daniel said, we cannot assume that libcurl was build with OpenSSL backend. We would need some way to detect this first.
Also, wasn't there a license problem with OpenSSL and the (L)GPL? Can libvirt legally be used with a libcurl that is linked with OpenSSL?
The OpenSSL vs GPL license compatibility is a subject of much debate amongst lawyers, so the answer you get depends on who you ask. IANAL, but my personal reading is that the OpenSSL license is *not* compatible with the (L)GPL. Thus as a libvirt copyright holder my position is that libvirt must only be used with a libcurl that links to either NSS or GNUTLS, and *not* OpenSSL.
