I still want to see data, but less cruft. I.e., something like "GIT_TRACE_CURL_SSL" (which I'd default to "off"), and probably just reducing: 15:24:01.169101 [pid=55191] http.c:702 <= Recv data, 0000000004 bytes (0x00000004) 15:24:01.169104 [pid=55191] http.c:717 <= Recv data: 3e.. to just the second line. Actually, we might not need a knob at all for SSL data. I was thinking that people might actually be debugging SSL problems with it, but since all of the non-printable characters are munged to "." anyway, it's basically useless (you can often pick out a few strings from the cert during handshake, but you'd be much better off to just connect with "openssl s_client" and ask it to dump the cert). -Peff
