[openssl-dev] custom X509_LOOKUP_METHOD in openssl 1.1.0 / load cert from memory

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

Hi,

I've been looking at spice-gtk to get it compiled against openssl 1.1.0.
One problem I have is that they are using a custom X509_LOOKUP_METHOD
struct which is now not possible.
It seems that this requirement was introduced [1] to able to load certs
from within memory instead from file.

Is there another way to get this done in 1.1.0 or would you consider
providing X509_LOOKUP_mem() which is a struct similar to what they have
now in tree?
