that works just fine.  I'm only having a problem w/HTTPS via 
twisted.web.client.  I can use httplib.HTTPSConnection just fine, it 
doesn't have the "garbage" ssl application data.

It's a globus-4.0.1 SOAP Axis server, not my custom HTTP implementation, 
that is having trouble with twisted.web.client

I figure if there are problems w/ test_ssl it's probably got something 
to do w/my problem...
