When developing Chrome, it's very useful to be able to use Wireshark
to look inside a TLS connection without having the server's key. I'm
sure other people have a similar issue with other programs.

To this end, I'm asking for some lovin' for
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4349

The patch on that bug adds support for reading pre-master secret log
files generated by a TLS client (like Chrome). The NSS(*) side of this
patch has been r+'ed:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=536474, but the Wireshark
bug has fallen silent for the past few weeks.

Cheers

(*) NSS is the SSL/TLS library used by Firefox and Chrome on Linux.
Chrome will soon use it on all platforms.
