Description

After testing curl with OpenSSL's new ECH support I found that OpenSSL doesn't write out the ECH_CONFIG and ECH_SECRET values needed for tools like Wireshark.

It would obviously be nice if OpenSSL supported this so enabling ECH doesn't come at the cost of being able to inspect the traffic. :)

The ietf-tls-keylogfile document has been updated as of rev 3. to document the values needed: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-keylogfile/

Research direction

Start by reading the referenced ietf-tls-keylogfile draft revision 3 and tracing OpenSSL's existing SSLKEYLOGFILE handling for ECH. Done means OpenSSL emits the ECH_CONFIG and ECH_SECRET values required by tools such as Wireshark when ECH is enabled.
