Details

This enhancement request was formerly bugsplat bug 351230. Data gets copied WAY too often in libSSL. Since encryption implicitly copies the data, the only data copying that should need to take place is part of en/decryption, (and possibly compression). Possibly decrypted plaintext should continue to be copied out into application buffers. ssl_WriteV should definitely NOT copy iovec buffers into one buffer. This will be a big change to the SSL code.
