Certificates & shared connection #45

Should net-http-persistent not share connections for instances with different certificates?

I got burned by this using Mechanize. I know a solution is to name each instance, which works. But is that the following a principle of least surprise?

To implement this properly you would need to tell net-http-persistent which hostnames a certificate was usable for. I will think about what API to use.
