Hi,

whenever a TLS connection is brought up, the problem arises to verify, if the 
peer's certificate matches the host (dnsname) we wanted to connect to. It 
seems to me that a standard procedure for this is defined in RFC 2818. As 
it's not a trivial procedure (extracting and trying to match subject alt 
names or relevant parts of the DN), I wonder if there's a ready-made function 
out there? Perhaps part of openssl and I'm too blind to find it? ;-)

Cheers,
Andreas.
