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.

Note, curl is *not* a dependency of our netsurf port; it's been integrated
with webfs, so that it at least behaves somewhat natively.

Sure but as I said: optional dependencies. It might be interesting to test a
curl-based netsurf to compare with the webfs based one, sort of like how the
framebuffer variant is compared with the native interface variant.
