> > mhttpd uses the latest release of mongoose 4.2

mhttpd is now explicitly linked with OpenSSL to provide secure https connections via the mongoose web server.

a) google chrome reports "Your connection to ... is encrypted with modern cryptography." via TLS 1.2 and ECDHE ciphers
b) we believe there are no Linux systems that require running mhttpd and lack OpenSSL, but building mhttpd without OpenSSL is supported, see the cross 
compilation section in the Makefile.
c) MacOS comes with a very old version of OpenSSL. mhttpd will build, https will work, but with a complaint about "obsolete cryptography". Please install an up-to-
date OpenSSL package via macports.
d) security of OpenSSL itself is quite problematic, please keep an eye open on OpenSSL security advisories, update OpenSSL and restart/rebuild mhttpd promptly. I 
expect the mongoose project to eventually switch from OpenSSL to one of the new-generation TLS libraries, such as PolarSSL (embed_tls) and we will follow their 
lead.
