Can I help somehow to get traction? Proposed change looks very promising for
me, but no any movement, including setting this to Abandoned is extremely
confusing.

> Upstream has already moved on
Of course I'm aware of that, but it's not a duty of tremotesf or cpp-httplib
authors to care about FreeBSD versions that don't have OpenSSL 3. Instead, it's
my duty as a maintainer to keep port working on every supported FreeBSD
version.

> just mark it as broken on 13.X
In fact, tremotesf isn't broken on 13, it works perfectly fine there. The only
broken thing is cpp-httplib which is being used for 'test' target. However, I
was explicitly asked to enable test support while porting tremotesf, so my
priority is to keep tests working as well.

Dealing with above isn't that easy, so here's issues to overcome:
Moving to release assets usage leads to inability of putting httplib-0.14
without dirtiest possible hacks. Solution to that may be creating something
like www/cpp-httplib014, but I doubt it makes sense for a port that has no
consumers except tremotesf (at least, FreshPorts doesn't show them).
With >=0.15, we will get broken 'test' target on 13. 'Solution' here ('ugly
workaround' seems to be a better fit) is to disable cpp-httplib usage in tests,
which luckily disables just 1 test out of 10.
Tremotesf restricts upper cpp-httplib version to 0.16 at the moment [0], so
tests are already broken even for FreeBSD >=1400092 due to ports commit
554573cc3ada283b9fea8869a68b06366971af5e. That means we can't unbundle httplib
anyway, but luckily again, we can _prefer_ ports' version over bundled one,
which is default.

Actually I already have a patch which adresses above, just need to write a good
commit message with decent rationale before sharing.
