Hi Jamie,

I can read on http://www.apsis.ch/pound/ that "Pound just passes this
information without checking it in any way (except for signature and
encryption correctness)", so I really would check validity dates within
your application.

No, but the web page says you can (and should) strip these for yourself;
please search for "HeadDeny X-SSL" on the page for details.

That's what the "VerifyList" setting is for; simply set it to a file
which contains the root certificates you trust (in PEM format). You have
to place it in the HTTPSListener block you use for client certification.
