Currently, I think that we should not support the server side stuff in Firefox. Otherwise, we would have to issue security updates when there are bugs fixed in the server side stuff. And, more generally, we would have to care about (hypothetical) security issues in the server side that currently we are free to ignore. In fact, I have been thinking of submitting patches so that Firefox's build of libssl can exclude the server-specific stuff for these reasons, and also to reduce the size of NSS for Firefox. I am particularly interested in hearing more about your project since supporting it would essentially be the opposite of this. Where can I find out more about it?
