D) Use another 3rd party DES lib (which?) when OpenSSLv3 is used.

I contemplated something similar as well and looked at using third-party crypto libraries, such as libcrypt, for MD4, MD5 and DES should an SSL backend not support these.

For the OpenSSL case however, which is the one I was mostly concerned about in this thread, I believe the answer is one that wasn't included among my list of options:

E) Switch to the API that still offers the functionality (EVP*) once the one we currently use goes away. We will have a few years until this happens.

I also made configure set -DOPENSSL_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATED when we build with OpenSSL 3 so we won't get those annoying deprecation warnings.

Hopefully I will get back onto curl stuff and get some contributions into the next release 😉

Music to my ears! =)
