Dear PostgreSQL team, dear all,

In 2022, I have contacted PostgreSQL team about Channel Binding:
- https://www.postgresql.org/search/?m=1&q=tls-exporter&l=&d=-1&s=i

We are in 2025, I relaunch the subject because several developers always say me: "it is not supported by PostgreSQL".

Can you add the support of RFC 9266: Channel Bindings for TLS 1.3?
- https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9266

Channel Bindings for TLS: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc5929

- XEP-0388: Extensible SASL Profile: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0388.html
- XEP-0440: SASL Channel-Binding Type Capability: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0440.html
- XEP-0474: SASL SCRAM Downgrade Protection: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0474.html
- XEP-0480: SASL Upgrade Tasks: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0480.html

Little details, to know easily:
- tls-unique for TLS =< 1.2 (RFC5929)
- tls-server-end-point =< 1.2 + 1.3 (RFC5929)
- tls-exporter for TLS = 1.3 (RFC9266)

After the jabber.ru MITM, it is time to add it:

Thanks in advance.
