Hi,

After reading the egg code, it can be simply done with
the attached patch.  It will be committed to the svn,
once someone review it and say ok.

Another thing in my mind is to improve http-client to
handle keep-alive connection nicely.
You can do it by directly calling http:send-request,
but there would be needed quite a few coding to get
to have easy-to-use procedures, something like http:GET.
The keep-alive connection is not only for the https connections,
but also for any HTTP1.1 connections, however,
since ssl-connect is heavier than tcp-connect,
it becomes more important.
I would apreciate for any suggestion to get
easy-to-use keep-alive handling procedures.
