[strongSwan-dev] [PATCH] proposal: Add possibility to register custom proposal keyword parser

[Thomas Egerer]

If a proposal string cannot be matched to a token using strcmp (e.g. if
you want to register a whole class of algorithms containing their ID,
like my_alg_2342), you can use the provided function to register a
parser that transforms the given string into a proposal token.

Hello strongswan-developers,

I was wondering if I could get this patch upstream. It is particularly
helpful to deal with private proposal strings. They are comprised of a
prefix followed by their private ID. Since none of the given mechanisms
(static keywords, nor keyword registration) allows my to parse a whole
class of algorithm names like described, I would rather use a user
provided parser. What do you think? Any suggestions on how to get this
upstream are appreciated.

Cheers,
Thomas
