Feature request: Client certificate authentication

[alive4ever]

It would be nice to have client certificate authentication, using PEM certificate. So that, users can authenticate to irc servers such as Freenode using client certificate.

Locally I've added this for passwordless key files. Is this OK for you or do you use a password?

I think it's better to support encrypted private keys in client certificates, since HoloIRC is a mobile IRC client and mobile devices are easy to get stolen.

For now, it's okay to just support unencrypted private keys, since most irc clients such as weechat and irssi don't support encrypted private keys (yet).

I think support for encrypted private keys can be added later when you've figured it out.

OK I'll keep it as passwordless for now. It's a lot of hassle to do encryption and there are already a lot of changes in the next release.

Great! HoloIRC will be the first Android irc client to support client certificate authentication.

I'm waiting for next update. Thanks.
