570439 - Enable selfserv to optionally serve without any SSL/TLS at all

Status: NEW

(NSS :: Tools, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

I'd like selfserv to have a way to run as an http (not https) server.
This would be useful for comparison purposes, comparing http and https 
performance.  It might also have other uses.  

I have developed a simple patch to enable this.  Because of the impending 
changes to the way that libSSL handles the range of supported versions, 
this patch will need to change, but it's a start.   Forthcoming.

Besides the obvious things you'd expect this patch to do, this patch moves a large block of definitions of static and global variables from the middle of the file to the beginning of the file, so that they will be accessible from functions earlier in the file than at present.
