Interesting answer. Thanks! I asked this because I need to write an
SSL-aware HTTP client.

Whatever, I am now wondering how strong is the pressure to migrate from the
classical "https" scheme to the "client requested upgrade" (as I see these
as somehow alternatives, as the client explicitely request "https"...). As
far as I understand, RFC 2817 (May 2000...) clearly states that things like
HTTPS should be deprecated. So I wonder what the "market" says... You say
there is no client: am I really going to write the first one that supports
this? As apache starts to support it, I guess there might be some other
people looking fot it also.
