Slides are here:
http://www.slideshare.net/bagder/libcurl-seven-ssl-libraries-and-one-ssh-library

And the last slide links to http://curl.haxx.se/docs/ssl-compared.html
which might also be interesting.

I actually choosed GnuTLS in the end, because NSS requires to use NSPR
(Netscape Portable Runtime) sockets instead of just normal
sockets. This would mean also changing the NSActiveSocket class and
maybe more instead of just a few lines NSActiveSSLSocket. I've almost
finished my patch, it compiles but I still have to test whether it
really works.
