Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] imap-send: use the OpenSSL API to access the subject common name
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2026 23:10:26 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260311221027.1404476-3-dev+git@drbeat.li> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260311121107.1122387-1-dev+git@drbeat.li>
The OpenSSL 4.0 master branch has deprecated the
X509_NAME_get_text_by_NID function. Use the recommended replacement APIs
instead. They have existed since OpenSSL v1.1.0.
Take care to get the constness right for pre-4.0 versions.
