What is the current state of EBCDIC support in OpenSSL?
While there are CHARSET_EBCDIC #ifdefs all over the source, a build on
z/OS Unix System Services is possible and creation of signatures
apparently works, there are several problems we ran into:
- the "openssl s_client" command cannot be used to test connections to
HTTPS servers
- "openssl x509" cannot print certificates because it fails to parse the
timestamps in the certificates
- certificate validation fails also because timestamps are not parsed
correctly
- a segmentation fault occurs in a test case when running "make test"
Is the OpenSSL team interested in EBCDIC-related bug reports and
potentially patches, or is the EBCDIC port essentially dead?
