Aren't there also other options than just GnuTLS? From a quick check,
it looks like most of ffmpeg's TLS implementations support
verification, but I don't know the internals. (Perhaps the same
misconception as with openssl.)

Furthermore, is that the official spelling/capitalization of GnuTLS?

Cheers,
Moritz

Ahh, this patch dates back to when the only other multiplatform option was GNUTLS. I can say "or use a different TLS implementation." if you like?

That would be the obvious way to go, I guess.
