Don't merge this quite yet, there's a flaw in my plan. |
… over their own channels.

Hi! Just checked this over and it seems to work. I've also rebased it to the most recent commit, so it should merge nice and cleanly. The key benefit of this work, as stated, is that developers can develop their own TLS backends without requiring you to add flags. If it's a bother, you could probably remove the HaNS flag if you wanted, and we could create the instance elsewhere. For me, this let me create a completely fake network stack that I can use in testing the Tor client. (If that would seem useful to you, I can pull it out as a separate library. It would let you make monadic QuickCheck tests of TLS handshakes without network access.) Thanks! And thanks again for the library. If there's anything else I can do to clean up this patch, please tell me. |

sure, that doesn't look like it would cause problems, and I can see the usefulness. Thanks ! |

@vincenthz, hi! Any chance we could get a new release with this PR included? Thanks. |
