Feature or enhancement

SSL_sendfile() is a function added in OpenSSL 3.0. If we use this function, we can offload TLS to the kernel, which can hugely improve performance. However, both the kernel and OpenSSL must be built with kTLS support.

I would like to prepare a PR that enablesSSL_sendfile() use inSSLSocket.sendfile.

Pitch

This would enable use of kernel TLS, which will yield significant increase of TLS performance in systems with kTLS support.
