The big question we have to answer first is, how do we want to support SSL? Do we want to use an existing, well-tested, well scrutinized SSL implementation and FFI bind to it? If so, which one and why? If not, are we comfortable enough with writing a correct SSL implementation? That's very hard.
Why write your own? We could try to come up with a list of requirements, so every HTTPS library on Hackage could be evaluated. Is anyone knowledgeable of cabal-install interested in composing such a list?
