this may be a problem. However, I don't expect the information which 
certificate should be send to which host to change that much. Checking 
certificate validity after the connection has been made is something 
different.

Of course, no doubt about that ;-) I just want to take my chance to make it 
better.

Right now I'm testing a change that moves session handling into KIO::
TransferJob. I hope that this solves all my problems beside following 
redirections. For security reasons, I don't use kssld, see my answer to 
Waldo.

Patch is attached, also for review by David.
