In that case, perhaps we really should lean only towards the “shell out” solution. Or, I suppose, we could hide the ssl implementation behind a flag — but that feels rather awkward in comparison.
So let’s try this: can anybody suggest any _downside_ to the “shell out” solution?
Since I wasn't explicit (and my comments could be read to say otherwise): I am +1 on whatever approach ends up getting SSL support into cabal. If the least problematic approach ends up being "shell out", I'm OK with it (I even did that myself[1] in the distant past).
I believe that shelling out would work for uploading as well as downloading, correct?
