---------------------------
* look at escaping logic again w.r.t. ?, # characters?
* 2818 requires that a on rejection of the SSL server cert, a "bad certificate"
message should be sent - this is not being done currently (and can probably
only be done with OpenSSL by actually doing cert verification in the verify
callback)
* ne_lock_discover does not handle multiple (shared) locks on
a single resource.
* ne_lock_refresh does not update the passed-in lock structure.
* SSL session caching issues; only cache for clean shutdowns, and
only cache on shutdown, since the SSL_SESSION may change during
an ne_session?
* what is passed as 'path' to req create hook: auth needs Request-URI;
how does that interact with proxies? also they will be passed NULL
for a CONNECT request, or "*" possibly as well.
* It would be nice to fail with a friendly error message if a client
cert is requested by the srever but one is not provided. Currently,
returning -1 from the provide_client_cert function would allow that
(as it forces the SSL handshake to fail), but that would prevent
opportunistic use of client certificates, of the "SSLVerifyClient
optional" variety.
* D.J. Heap has a proxy which returns a 401 in response to a CONNECT;
relax the ne_auth rules to allow this since it's unambiguous.
* Error handling from ne__pull_request_body/send_request_body is
buggy: socket errors are not distinguished from body provider errors;
the connection must be closed in ne_request after a body provider
error.
* Check whether the following always return UTF-8-encoded strings:
- ne_ssl_clicert_name
- ne_ssl_cert_identity
