I'm running a web site with 'SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth' to make
information from client certificates available for ldap-based
authentication (using Dave Carrigan's auth_ldap). Everything works
very well, except when a client has a certificate that has 
scandinavian characters in subject (this is quite common actually).
The subject is translated to string containing escape sequences
like '\xC4' by mod_ssl & openssl, but ldap doesn't like that,
since it is expecting either unescaped string or something
like '\C4'. So the user's access is denied.

Maybe mod_ssl could have an option which turns escaping off ?
