TLS support

[ldragone]

LLRT is a fantastic project, I can't wait to incorporate it into my projects.

However, it's currently unusable for any real-world use due to the lack of TLS support.
Without TLS, you can't interact with many external services at the moment, such as some databases.

At the moment the error I'm getting is:
ReferenceError: Error resolving module 'tls'

Is there an ETA for TLS support?

Thanks so much for the kind words and for giving LLRT a try! 🙏

You’re right, the lack of TLS support can be a limitation for many use cases. TLS is a pretty complex module with lots of edge cases, so it will take some time and care to implement properly. We don’t have an ETA yet, but it’s definitely something we want to support.

As a workaround in the meantime, you might be able to use something like sclient to handle the TLS handshake externally and pass plain traffic through to LLRT?

I wasn't aware of this option with sclient.
I'll do some testing while I wait for LLRT to support TLS.

Thanks!
