Description
Please offer an equivalent to Apache mod_ssl's "SSLOpenSSLConfCmd" configuration directive, in order to allow users direct access to OpenSSL's SSL_CONF_cmd function:
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CONF_cmd.html
OpenSSL keeps adding new features which can be configured through this very simple API, and it's frustrating having to hope and wait if the nginx developers will deem a new feature important enough to allocate it a dedicated configuration directive name every single time.
One current use case I have would be the "PrioritizeChaCha" option, but I could also imagine use cases for some other parameters ("RecordPadding" for example).
Personally, I'd even prefer to be able to do the whole SSL configuration by just directly using SSL_CONF_cmd directly instead of having to look up what keywords nginx (or Apache) use for whatever parameters I want to configure.
I imagine this would also make life easier for people using LTS Linux distros (for example, Ubuntu 18.04 has recently gotten an OpenSSL 1.1.1 backport added to its "bionic-proposed" repo, but users will not be able to disable TLSv1.3 in case of problems because the nginx package was built using OpenSSL 1.1.0).
