mod_openssl leverages cert callback in openssl 1.0.2 and later
(SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb())
server certificate chain
is now set in the cert callback
verify_store (for client certificate verification) (ssl.ca-file)
is now set in the cert callback
more carefully load sensitive files and clear temporary storage
(with openssl 1.1.1 and later)

set server certificate from callback in openssl 1.0.2 and later
(SSL_CTX_set_cert_cb())
For existing versions of lighttpd, certificate selection influenced by
ssl.cipher-list which can be used to set server cipher order preference
(along with ssl.honor-cipher-order = "enable", which is the default)

server ticket encryption key (STEK) rotation occurs every 86400 seconds
and upon lighttpd server restart. If using lighttpd with multiple
lighttpd workers, then restarting lighttpd keeps the STEK in sync
between lighttpd workers.
report SSL_R_UNEXPECTED_EOF_WHILE_READING if debug.log-ssl-noise enabled
SSL_R_UNEXPECTED_EOF_WHILE_READING
added in openssl 1.1.1e and reverted in 1.1.1f, but kept in 3.0 branch
NB: r->tmp_buf == srv->tmp_buf (pointer is copied for quicker access)
NB: request read and write chunkqueues currently point to connection
chunkqueues; per-request and per-connection chunkqueues are
not distinct from one another
con->read_queue == r->read_queue
con->write_queue == r->write_queue
NB: in the future, a separate connection config may be needed for
connection-level module hooks. Similarly, might need to have
per-request chunkqueues separate from per-connection chunkqueues.
Should probably also have a request_reset() which is distinct from
connection_reset().
use global rather than passing around (server *) just for that
li_itostrn() and li_utostrn() return string length
(rather than requiring subsequent strlen() to find length)
convert all log_error_write() to log_error() and pass (log_error_st *)
use con->errh in preference to srv->errh (even though currently same)
avoid passing (server *) when previously used only for logging (errh)
array_get_element_klen() is now intended for read-only access
array_get_data_unset() is used by config processing for r/w access
array_get_buf_ptr() is used for r/w access to ds->value (string buffer)
use openssl to read,discard request body after response has been sent
on a TLS connection, at least until SSL close notify has been sent

(expect < 256 octets for DNS name)
Since limit is imposed, can use buffer_clear() instead of buffer_reset()
for con->uri.authority and con->server_name. (Also, con->uri.scheme is
limited to "http" and "https", so use buffer_clear() for it, too)
