Do you have a link to some quick documentation what proxy certificates
are (I think this is the first time I've heard the term)?

I am pretty busy at  the moment with Chandler 0.6 end-game, but I should
have some time for M2Crypto soon.

Thanks, I can use this for Chandler as well :) Been too lazy myself, and
just patched hardcoded paths for my environment. Nice to get the right
solution...

Could you provide tests for all the new and changed APIs in unit tests?

I created a new bug to track this work:
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4782

I'd appreciate if you could attach enhancements to the patch to the bug
directly.

Thanks,
