I'ld like to announce the tls package [1][2], which is a native implementation of the TLS protocol, client and server.  It's currently mostly supporting SSL3, TLS1.0 and TLS1.1.  It's got *lots* of rough edges, and a bunch of unsupported features, but it's humming along, and at each iteration it's becoming more tighly secure and featureful.

Wow, great! So might we be able to combine this with Network.HTTP some day? I am interested in moving away from C libraries (curl) to pure Haskell libraries, for a safer, richer Haskell ecosystem and for solving the interesting problems.

Will you eventually add benchmarks?

Reading this source code will be educational. Thanks.

The http-enumerator package[1] actually uses either the tls package or OpenSSL as its backend. [1] http://hackage.haskell.org/package/http-enumerator
