Thanks for confirming it Mark. I feel like a sucker. I started on this project a few months ago on the assumption that socket certificates now worked as they'd been included in the Dictionary for years. I was away from development for a few years and hadn't noticed the complaints that the Dictionary was misrepresenting the situation. Depressing to see my own name in that bug report from 7 years ago, pointing out that secure sockets with certificates was something that we'd been told was on the horizon in LC version 2, which must have been around 2004.
