Description

Currently, lsquic only support BoringSSL. But in many phone devices, app-packet size is very important, and the old version of the app often takes OpenSSL. Now we add lsquic to the app, then we must add BoringSSL to it, too. So the size of the app-packet becomes too big. In some other cases, the old version of the app takes a static library of OpenSSL, and when we add lsquic with BoringSSL to the app, if the BoringSSL is a static library, then many symbols conflict; else if the BoringSSL is a dynamic library, then at run-time the app crashes. So, can you develop a branch version of supporting OpenSSL? Thanks very much.

Research direction

Start by reviewing lsquic’s current BoringSSL integration and the dependency or build entry points involved in selecting TLS libraries. Compare the requested OpenSSL path against the stated static-library symbol conflicts, dynamic-library runtime crashes, and app-packet size concern. Done means a defined, working OpenSSL-supported branch or implementation that addresses these constraints.
