Summary 💡
Currently, the blocking-http-transport-reqwest-rust-tls-trust-dns feature uses aws-lc-rs as the cryptography provider for rustls. I would like to request the ability (either as the default or as an alternative crate feature) to use ring instead.
Motivation 🔦
aws-lc-rs has nontrivial C dependencies and as a result it has a history of builds breaking in various configurations, e.g. it currently fails to compile for Android. While ring is not technically pure Rust as it extensively uses assembly code, it does not have these build problems in my experience.
