Re: [Webperf-general] Announcing Webperf 1.07 -- with HTTPS Support!

[Robert M. <rma...@ex...>]

It's great that you guys are adding functionality to the webperf agent,
but every new package you require makes it that much more difficult to
deploy an agent.  In particular, I'm sure there are legal problems with
installing OpenSSL in certain locations.  At some point, you might
consider making some of the packages optional, so that the maximum
number of people can contribute to the webperf project.  (Actually, it
looks like the agent will work for non-https urls without OpenSSL
installed...)
