curl can be built to use one of the following SSL alternatives: OpenSSL,
GnuTLS, yassl, NSS, PolarSSL, axTLS, Secure Transport (native iOS/OS X),
- schannel (native Windows) or qssl (native IBM i). They all have their pros
+ WinSSL (native Windows) or qssl (native IBM i). They all have their pros
and cons, and we try to maintain a comparison of them here:
