I tried to 'consume' an HTTP web server but connection drops during handshake... something wrong in wrapper...

Sorry, I'm quite busy at the moment... Have youtried to fix or find the problem?

haf commented 9 years ago

No, I'm currently in the process of evaluating different TLS implementations for Suave and Logary and I need this functionality.

I wasn't trying to hurry you along, I was just saying that you're doing good work =)

marcominetti commented 9 years ago

is there the concept of hurry in pure open-source? LOL

suave and logary, interesting! i've spent lots of time on my own web application server and framework but now i'm porting it to node.js... maintaining a Javascript compiler and runtime built in pure C# AND an application server/framework built on top of it... is tough when you get no support from Microsoft at all and Oracle starts playing with Nashorn...

btw, i had the same problem with my project "ljve"... i've tried a pure managed implementation AaltoTLS

I really doubt that Microsoft's lack of support for anyone's runtime is the core of why it would fizzle. Instead, if you want open source to succeed, it's really about building a community around it, talking about it and showing that it's a better option. After all, that's what node.js was and Ruby on Rails and ...

I've looked into AaltoTLS and it's well composed, but the author says what you do; it's not performant. However, I think most libraries can be optimised to the point where their performance is good enough. Often, with a high enough language, your compiler can do the optimisations, like for example: HLearn in Haskell, or Nessos' LinqOptimizer.
