Khmm... you mean it shouldn't cause an error if verifypeer was set to 0, right?

I haven't got a chance to try it, since the patch curiously fails to
apply against
every single version of curl I tried (7.16.4, 7.17.1,
7.17.2-20071202), but it looks
fine to me. I'm not sure why anyone who doesn't care to get the peer verified
would care to see the diagnostic info about the peer's certificate (even if one
existed), but it certainly doesn't hurt to have the option to see
what's going on.
