Details

Due to the wide deployment of OpenSSL, the string format used by OpenSSL to configure cipher suites has become a de-facto standard for adjusting cipher suites. For example, see https://bettercrypto.org/. This is a request to add an NSS API to parse an apply that string format to determine which NSS cipher suites are enabled. This is a more specific request than bug 480174 and bug 358440. If this were implemented, I believe those two bugs could be closed as a duplicate of this. I provided sample code in bug 358440 for a different syntax that could be used for inspiration or as a starting point.
