iPeluwa · 2025-06-30T10:06:53Z

@sunng87 I have now attended to all the issues raised.

- Disable default features for tokio-rustls (removes aws_lc_rs dependency) - Use only ring feature for better cross-platform compatibility - Update TLS setup to use rustls::crypto::ring::default_provider() - Follows tokio-rustls best practices for dependency management This ensures better Windows compatibility and smaller binary size.

fix: Disable default features for tokio-rustls and use ring provider
