Hi Avner,

We never supported 'gcrypt-only'. We always required GnuTLS, just some
very long time ago we tried to include parts of the GnuTLS code with
MHD. However, that version never worked well with HTTPS/TLS, so it is
definitively not advisable to go there.  If you cannot build GnuTLS, you
could:

1) Ask the GnuTLS mailinglist for help,
2) Disable TLS support for MHD if you do not need it; or,
3) Put MHD-logic behind a reverse proxy (i.e. Apache) that
   does support TLS

Happy hacking!

Christian
