Re: State of X.509 support?

[Aris Adamantiadis <aris@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Karl,

As far as I know, we never saw that x509 code. It was not contributed,
probably because of lack of time and follow-up from both parties.

However the demand for X.509 is very low, I'm unsure if we should merge
that code at all.
