<PRE>Misunderstood what you needed then.

Note that the services that are completely blocked from anyone who 
doesn't have the right cert are virtually non-existent, it doesn't make 
sense to add a feature for it.

You can do that kind of thing by having custom code creating the 
protocol process by the way. There's no need to patch Cowboy for that.

</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i>         Yes, but in cowboy there's no API to get at the socket.
