These patches add support for client certificates to alpm and pacman.
This can already be achieved currently by setting an XferCommand, but doing so significantly reduces the quality of the feedback pacman gives during the downloads. Especially annoying are the 404 errors on most database signature files, but that's not the only issue.
I admit this is a bit of an edge case, but I find myself in the situation where I have to download packages from a private repository that requires a valid client certificate. I really want the nice regular pacman feedback back though, so I figured I'd hack it in myself. Surely this can also be achieved by adding the certificate to your system certificate store?
No, that would work if I want to verify a self signed server certificate (or a server certificate issues by a private CA). But I need to present a client certificate to the server.
