As far as I can tell, funopen() is a BSD-only function. The three Linux
systems I have checked (FC1, FC3 and FC5) do not appear to have funopen()
at all.

Certainly https is potentially a useful feature, but its implementation
shouldn't depend on a largely non-Linux library function! Since the vast
majority of Asterisk systems are Linux.

I'd be wary of code being committed to SVN that had only been tested on
BSD, and not on Linux.
