gnutls_certificate_client_get_request_status still returns 0 on the
client side, but it seems that this time, a certificate is actually
transmitted in a way the server can handle it.

May I assume that the first certificate returned by
gnutls_certifcate_get_peers contains public key material which actually
corresponds to the private key material which was used to establish the
ssession?

By the way, gnutls_certificate_client_set_retrieve_function is not a
well-designed interface.  The callback function lacks a closure
parameter.  Even worse, it is hard to fake it because
gnutls_certificate_client_set_retrieve_function is called with a
credentials structure, and the callback is called with a session
structure.  Extremely annoying.
