[Commotion-dev] Any use for libcyassl?

[Dan Staples]

Besides the LuCI web interface, I can't think of any other current or 
proposed uses for SSL on the openwrt nodes. I heard that Seamus was 
creating some instructions for going through the quick-start over a 
wireless AP with SSL turned on, so users can understand what the 
self-signed cert warning means. Maybe he can chime in with more 
details...
