I was, but it was a sekret.  However, I wonder if seperate
TPTAG_TLS_VERIFY_SERVER and TPTAG_TLS_VERIFY_CLIENT wouldn't make more
sense.  Judging from how HTTPS is utilized in most cases, one might
expect for a UA to verify the cert chain from the server it is
connecting to, but accept connections from another UA using only a
self-signed certificate.

That aside, I'm starting to cook some patches that will allow the
application to query detailed certificate information from the stack;
specifically, the certificate Subject, but also some other security
checks.  Until a nua app can verify the subject against the original DNS
lookup, the security is still really quite weak.
