Bug Description

In order to log in to several sites (like https://cacert.org), I use an
SSL client certificate. Due to a missing feature in my browser (w3m), I
can only enable this globally, not per site. I.e. I can either always present
a certificate or never. The latter one is obviously no option.

https://launchpad.net/ refuses SSL connects presenting a client certificate
from an unknown CA (in my case, this is CACert, see above).
It would be great if you could configure the server to just ignore those
certs instead.
If that's not possible, please consider adding the CACert.org CA certificate
to your server (it's already being shipped by Gentoo, Debian and Ubuntu).
