[libnice] TURN/TLS support in libnice

[Johan Sternerup]

Ok.

Seems like its doable with a reasonable effort then.

Any thoughts on what TLS library to use and if it should be made optional to minimize dependencies?

I'm thinking libsoup would be a good fit but it does bring in some extra dependencies.

On the other hand you'd also be able to get HTTP1.1 proxy support through libsoup in addition to using OpenSSL or GnuTLS directly.

Hi,

This is indeed the status. I'd love to add the feature, but up to now,
no one has cared enough to speed a couple weeks implementing it (or to
hire us to do it).

We have a socket abstraction layer, so we just need to sandwich a TLS
library in there.
