[bug-myserver] Re: gnutls usage

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Thanks Simon :)

Before using gnutls, myserver was using OpenSSL for HTTPS, this is the
reason why now we are using the gnutls-openssl wrapper.  Switch to the
native gnutls API is in our plans but I didn't know that there are C++
bindings.  Are they part of the official GNU TLS package or they are
offered separately?

Regards,
Giuseppe
