Description

http://jsslkeylog.sourceforge.net provides a means for Wireshark to tap SSL connections, but it's not maintained and not very reliable under JDK 1.8.

If Akka-HTTP is doing it's own TLS, could it generate the file that jSSLKeyLog generates with a lot less hackery?

Ref #16830

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Akka HTTP manages TLS connections (likely through Netty) and determine the best way to implement session key logging as defined by the NSS Key Log format. For reference, explore the jSSLKeyLog library and JDK's SSLSessionContext.
