I have a promising GSoC candidate who is interested in working on bug 1162897 (RFC7512 URI support¹), and potentially also on bug 248722 (honour the system-wide configuration for PKCs#11 modules, when it exists²).
I am more than happy to co-mentor, but I think it *really* needs a proper NSS developer to be the primary mentor. Could I interest anyone in helping out, please? This is a really useful project. Applications built against OpenSSL or GnuTLS will transparently load the PKCS#11 tokens specified by the system configuration, and allow objects therein to be identified by their PKCS#11 URI. This consistency is a Good Thing™, and the Fedora distribution at least has explicit packaging guidelines that its packages SHOULD behave this way. So Fedora has open bugs against its curl package, for example, which could *only* be resolved right now by building curl against GnuTLS instead of NSS. This is obviously not the ideal solution; let's make NSS play nicely too :) -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre david.woodho...@intel.com Intel Corporation ¹ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1162897 ² https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=248722
