Description
Hi
Just a quick question, apologies if this has been asked before, i searched but couldn't find it.
Is it possible to use this module to analyse the TLS client hello to look for the top client pref being CHACHA and if so, selecting CHACHA as the server top pref?
I have tried the cloudflare nginx patch but it doesn't work (at least on my build - 1.13.10, Lua module, OpenSSL 1.1.0g) :-(.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
Neil

Research direction
Review the module's TLS client hello handling and compare it with the Cloudflare nginx patch mentioned in the issue. Check behavior with nginx 1.13.10, the Lua module, and OpenSSL 1.1.0g; done means determining whether client CHACHA preference can be observed and used for server selection, or documenting the limitation.
