So the `net/url' hack is done. I basically made it do the dispatching
version if it gets a void value for `tcp-connect' -- and `net/url'
arranges for just that. Does anyone want to take on documenting the
hack? Please?
[The description should also say something about this default handling
of ssl connections as an equivalent of clicking through your browsers
warning (in fact, not even seeing them) -- so you can rely on the
communication to be safe but not rely on the identity of the site
you're contacting. (That will require dealing with a pool of trusted
certificates and similar mess... It'll be good to make it possible to
do something about it, but this is a stopgap anyway.)]
