Re: [PATCH v2 00/15] RPC-with-TLS client side

As I already posted to Jeff, I can put the server up for
a day or two at any time anyone would like to test
against it.

It now does TLS1.3 and I'll note the one thing the
server did that caught the FreeBSD client "off guard"
was it sends a couple of post handshake handshake
records. (The FreeBSD client now just tosses these away.)

Just email if/when you'd like to test, rick

Ben Coddington has an ngnix module to support RPC-with-TLS that can
front-end a stock Linux NFSD. Rick has a FreeBSD server implementation
of RPC-with-TLS. Rick's probably taken his server down, but Ben's
server is still up on the bake-a-thon VPN.
