I am currently trying to go through all optional dependencies for netsurf to see
if I can put/update them in ports. I had an old curl port in there but it depended on
gawk and pulled in gnulib etc.

I was happy to see that Lufia had managed to get Plan9 (9legacy) support
upstream in curl some 5 months ago.

https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/plan9/README

as dependencies he wrote
- latest 9legacy patches
- zlib (OK)
- libressl


For the "latest 9legacy patches", he does not really specify which/what those may
be. Has most of 9legacy been integrated in 9front?

For libressl : I remember that an openssl port was replaced for the more native
libsec for python. I am not sure if that would be the best option here too. 
If I remember correctly, this move away from openssl also blocked later versions
of python so perhaps would it be interesting with a more up-to-date variant like
what Lufia is proposing?
https://github.com/libressl-portable/portable/pull/510

Looking at the different ssl options in curl, it looks like wolfssl might be an
attractive alternative with some openssl compat options.
