This works on my machine and looks fine as far as the use of the openssl

one could somehow specify the second optional parameter to ssl-connect to
enable SSL protocol version selection and certificate management -- maybe
one could hack an additional field into the http:request structure.
You are absolutely right.
In fact, I was wondering how to specify CA certificates.
Here is a new patch.
I think it should be possible to just create a version of http:GET with
three optional arguments, [...]
This is still different from what I desire.
I was thinking something like a global pool of connections
for each host:port, and a client program does not need to
keep track of input and output ports.
It can even seamlessly re-connect, once the old connection is closed.
