SSL bindings for Async?

[Anil Madhavapeddy]

Are there any SSL bindings for Async at present? I've been hacking on a Github API (https://github.com/avsm/ocaml-github) that uses Cohttp, and would like to functorise it over Async as well as Lwt, and this is the missing link.

None I am aware of. We don't have anything internally.

I'll take a shot at writing an Async wrapper using ocaml-ssl (which are the same bindings used by Lwt_ssl, so should be stable enough)

I realize this is an old thread, but did anything ever become of this? If not, I wouldn't mind taking a stab at it. Is there any particular reason this never panned out?

Nope! Definitely something worth working on.

Definitely worth working on!  I decided not to proceed with the OCaml-SSL C bindings as I wasn't satisfied with their correctness.  One thing I'd love to see is a Ctypes [1] version of the SSL bindings, which would be far easier (and safer) to hook into Async.
