This is a known issue which Thomas has promised me will be
fixed in the next development version (I've sent a patch which
strips the port from the FQDN to match the certificate, and
uses a case-insensitive match), to match both Netscape's docu-
mentation and behaviour.

I'm unsure whether wildcards are allowed in certificates. I'll
look that up soon (I'm still a bit ill) though.
