Regarding "multi-megabyte binaries",
OpenSSL for Amiga 68k on Aminet requires 8mb RAM,
ixemul-48.0, WB 3.x, and relies on an additional random device handler.
There is also the
AmiSSL library which have known vulnerabilities and is kind of slow, at least when using it with
iBrowse. The source code (SAS/C) is available for the AmiSSL library I linked, so if someone feel like taking a look at that, go ahead. EDIT: Just noticed that Jens Maus has been active with recent
commits to the AmiSSL repository so perhaps a new release is on the way.
Personally I think a lightweight 'ssh' port is more interesting to implement.
