What would be the minimal configuration in order to successfully connect to and get a web page from a typical (amazon, google) secure web server? Does --enable-small strip out too much? Would what files to include  when verifying vs. not verifying certificates change a lot?

One other question: --enable-small says "minimal build" and apparently yields about 40k... But another post said OpenWRT got it down to 15k for embedded ssl and it's apparently still usable. What's the philosophy of the minimal build - how does OpenWRT's idea of minimal differ from the configure option?

Thanks!
