Lighttpd

updated link: https://fedorahosted.org/mod_nss/

would be nice if lighttpd https support could be implemented with NSS alongside OpenSSL.
some new processors / crypto cards only have support for accelerating ssl through nss.

==> Is that still the case? Is there still interest in lighttpd supporting the Mozilla NSS crypto libraries?

If there is, please help document specific reasons why Mozilla NSS crypto libraries are the right or best choice.
There are numerous TLS implementations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_TLS_implementations) and it takes quite a bit of effort to add lighttpd support.

Related: in addition to OpenSSL, lighttpd can be built against the openssl-compatibility layers provided by LibreSSL, BoringSSL, and wolfSSL.

Also, experimental support for mbedTLS is on my lighttpd development branch https://git.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/lighttpd1.4.git/?h=personal%2Fgstrauss%2Fmaster

EXPERIMENTAL and INCOMPLETE mod_nss will be committed to the lighttpd master branch soon.

Overall, the NSS library is severely lacking in library documentation, as in non-existent besides brief doc for some tools built to use NSS.

My opinion: NSS is extremely unfriendly to develop against, moreso for server usage. NSS seems to have gotten more attention as a client library.
