Indeed it isn't, there is a constant socket between the two devices, not 
requests. And no don't have support for certificates or anything at all.

Basically it has the same capabilities as XChats SSL support. Ie, it connects 
securely, and can optionally verify the remote host certificate. That is all. 
There's no support for client-side certificates or anything like that (I am 
not even sure SSL with IRC supports this ).

Not really, IMAP works on a Job based method, it basically re-connects with 
every call.
