- *) Experimental workaround TLS filler (WTF) extension. Based on a suggested
- workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the TLS client
- Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and less that 512
- pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it is at least 512 bytes

- To enable it use an unused extension number (for example 0x4242) using
- e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_wtf=0x4242

- WARNING: EXPERIMENTAL, SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

+ *) TLS pad extension: draft-agl-tls-padding-02
+
+ Workaround for the "TLS hang bug" (see FAQ and PR#2771): if the
+ TLS client Hello record length value would otherwise be > 255 and
+ less that 512 pad with a dummy extension containing zeroes so it
+ is at least 512 bytes long.
+
+ To enable it use an unused extension number (for example chrome uses
+ 35655) using:
+
+ e.g. -DTLSEXT_TYPE_padding=35655
+
+ Since the extension is ignored the actual number doesn't matter as long
+ as it doesn't clash with any existing extension.
+
+ This will be updated when the extension gets an official number.

+
*) Add functions to allocate and set the fields of an ECDSA_METHOD
structure.
