Re: Supporting Windows SChannel as OpenSSL replacement

Tom, Robert, Microsoft is interested in supporting windows SChannel for Postgres. Please let know how we can help taking this forward. We would love contributing to this either by enhancing the original patch provided by Heikki, or test the changes on Windows.

Thanks,
Satya

FWIW, I have some interest in the Apple Secure Transport patch that is in the CF queue, and will probably pick that up at some point if no one beats me to it (but it's not real high on my to-do list).
I won't be touching the Windows version though. I suspect that the folk who might be competent to review the Windows code may have correspondingly little interest in the macOS patch. This is a bit of a problem, since it would be good for someone to look at both of them, with an eye to whether there are any places in our SSL abstraction API that ought to be rethought now that we have actual non-OpenSSL implementations to compare to.

regards, tom lane
