[Libevent-users] libevent-2.0 and openssl filter

[tuna@xxxxxxxx]

Hi,

I have read that one of your planned feature for libevent-2.0 is about
to let the possibility to implement openssl over bufferents. 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/libevent-users@xxxxxxxxxx/msg01494.html
part 5.4)

Will it give possibility for developpers to use OpenSSL's BIO API
through libevent bufferevents? (keeping ease of use given by BIOs +
optimized way of handling I/O in libevent)

I am going to extend one code to support ciphering through OpenSSL (not
only SSL, but symmetric encryption and so on). I am currently using
stable release of libevent to handle I/O. Does it worth waiting a bit
for such feature, about OpenSSL, in version 2.0 or not? At this stage,
adding ciphering capabilities to my code - which uses bufferevent -
would mean to do that with OpenSSL's EVP API. Though I guess BIO would
be best. At least these are my assumptions. Or am I just out of scope? 

Thanks,

TB
