[openssl-dev] Missing API features

[Richard Moore]

Hi All,

Continuing with the problems of making structs opaque, currently the API
for querying the information about ciphers is quite weak. Only
SSL_CIPHER_description
provides access to data such as the key exchange method, and parsing a
string to obtain this information seems daft. We're missing API for:
key exchange, authentication method, encryption algorithm, MAC and the
export flag. It's also worth noting that SSL_CIPHER_get_version and
SSL_CIPHER_description
should probably be returning const char * not char *.

Cheers

Rich.
