[stunnel-users] Compression

[Ludovic LEVET]

So,

For your next version (> 4.51) with update code for compression, i will 
replace openssl 0.9.8 by openssl 1.0.0e given from package 4.47 (for
windows of course) then i'm will be able to control compression (but am 
lost FIPS, not very important for me).
This is possible ?  (i think...)

Ludovic.
