Discussion on implementing TLS in DiceDB

[roopeshsn]

Hi, Team! I am going through TLS to implement in DiceDB for a couple of weeks now. As mentioned in issue #549, I found ways for implementation except at the 3rd point. I am thinking to start with AsyncServer (internal/server/server.go), as it will be invoked if enable-multithreading is false (single-threaded). The current implementation of AsyncServer is that it uses functions from the syscall package (to read and write the TCP payload) rather than the net package (net.Listen for example). tls.Listen uses net.Listen to listen to the port. I am not sure how I can introduce tls.Listen() to the existing listener:

dice/internal/server/server.go

Line 151 in 03debc1

if err := syscall.Listen(s.serverFD, int(s.maxClients)); err != nil {

Your help and guidance is highly appreciated! @JyotinderSingh @soumya-codes

Thanks for picking this up @roopeshsn. Please note that we're going to deprecate async server very soon. It would be better if you design the feature wrt the resp server (the multi-threaded one).
