For the interested people, DANE support has been merged today (with GnuTLS build only).

DANE allows to verify the server certificates for HTTPS connections via DNS. This allows to connect to servers without having a CA certificate pool installed - well, *if* the the site admin prepared the DNS entry for DANE (with so called TLSA records).

WARNING: Without DNSSEC, MITM attacks can't be detected when using DANE.

DANE is still an experimental feature and needs to be enabled via
the `--dane` CLI option.

Have fun playing with it.
Any feedback is highly appreciated.
