[Commotion-dev] Any use for libcyassl?

[Ben West]

Howdy,

I have managed to successfully compile and run an updated copy (v2.6.0) of
the cyassl embedded SSL implementation, and furthermore have libcurl / curl
link to that instead of libopenssl.

If you have to use SSL (which is recommended when you want to connect to a
remote service, e.g. a dashboard), libcyassl saves you 500Kbytes+ of flash
space over libopenssl:

bin/ar71xx/packages/libopenssl_1.0.1e-1_ar71xx.ipk

Although, Commotion doesn't using openssl or cyassl for anything in
particular yet, besides the onboard web-server uhttpd, do you plan to build
any service which will require SSL?  If so, I've cyassl + libcurl patches
to share.
