Oh, it's definitely not a no-go, just pointing out that you shouldn't read too
much into seeing a cert request from a server.  In other words if the client
says "I have a cert" and the server responds "please authenticate using the
cert", that doesn't mean that the server will actually expect client cert auth
at that point.

So it may be necessary to have the server respond with its own flag to
indicate that it really does want client cert auth and isn't just asking for a
client cert on autopilot.
