Status update on replacing openssl-sys with rustls?

[piperun]

After 3 days of fruitless effort to get the stupid openssl-sys to work with rust (flutter-rust-bridge) I just had to throw in the towel and use the pre-compiled package.
From what I understand so far rustls doesn't work with https or?

Hi there @piperun,

rustls doesn't work with most websites that I tried to use it for, it probably just doesn't have access to locally-installed certs the way openssl does.
That thing is the biggest pain in the neck in the whole project, if not for TLS, it'd be just one big Hello, World that parses HTML. I've thrown in many towels working on that one, trust me. The current setup seems to be working for both pre-compiled binaries with openssl bindings, as well as for self-built installations.

Please let me know if you'd like to share logs or more about the exact situation you're having, I'll try to find the perfect final solution that makes everyone happy.
