A new OpenSSL release comes out tomorrow, that fixes yet another critical security issue:
it would be great to get rid of OpenSSL with this PR. |

@toxeus do you mind addressing build issues? |

Yes, our troublemaker crate is pulling in openssl 😉 I have updated the README. |
The existing `http-tls` feature enables TLS support via `hyper-tls` which in turn pulls in OpenSSL on Linux via `native-tls`. OpenSSL is written in C and has a long history of vulnerabilities caused by memory corruption. The new `http-rustls` feature allows to choose a TLS implementation that is written in Rust.
