Custom SSL socket factory

[Johan Hedin <jo...@eCare.se>]

Hi all

We use Apache Soap 2.2 in our products for pushing log files over the web
to a central log server. This is done via Apache Soap. In order to make
this secure enough, we are using client certs for the SOAP client. To do
this, I made a small patch to the SSLUtils class enabling setting a custom
socket factory. I'm happy to contibute the patch if it will fit in the
SOAP project.
