[Bug 1879525] Re: Add TLS support

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello Dimitri, or anyone else affected,

Accepted busybox into focal-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/1:1.30.1-4ubuntu6.1 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  Add TLS support

Status in busybox package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in busybox source package in Focal:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * busybox in the initramfs provides wget applet that is used by casper for netboot support
   * It does not support https at the moment, but it is desirable that it does
   * There is built-in TLS code, or "fork & execute openssl"
   * Enable the later one, and optionally include /usr/bin/openssl & certs, when building casper-like initrds which should support netboot.

  [Test Case]

   * Boot casper created initrd, with break=bottom
   * Configure dhcp based networking
   * Attempt to wget https://start.ubuntu.com/connectivity-check
   * It should succeed

  [Regression Potential]

   * The openssl codepath is optional in busybox wget, and we only include openssl & certs for casper.
   * The casper based initrd will grow in size, due to inclusion of openssl & certs

  [Other Info]
   
   * Parity with d-i, which includes https support already
