[Twisted-Python] database access via cred and ssl encryption

Joe,

My requirement was to have a server authenticate via a client
via a server certificate known by the client.   To implement
this, I had to patch the internet/ssl.py file; and to make 
the 'fetch' aspect easy, I had a small change to web/client.py
As far as I know, these patches have not been applied; however,
you may find them useful...
