-Subject: [PATCH] Use system NSS only for certificate handling
-
-Compiling against NSS 3.23 fails with current Chromium. Also, with NSS
-3.21 there are failures connecting to e.g. google.com.
-
-Fix this by adapting the setup endorsed by upstream Chromium: BoringSSL
-is always used for cryptography, and NSS only for certificate handlng.
-
-Patches included in 3rdparty update:
-
-0a385bb [backport] Call EnsureNSSHttpIOInit in the chimera build.
-0472123 Fix build against newer NSS
-90c62c4 <third_party/libpng> [Backport] update to libpng 1.2.56
-34857b8 <third_party/libpng> [Backport] Stop large iCCP chunks causing delays and "Aw Snap!"
