1.3 support for SecureChannel is not guaranteed to work in anyway. I think we
added this code for 1.1(not sure) and at that time it is not
completed and it was just forgotten after that.

For 1.4 alpha I put some working code and it works fine. I tested this with
ssl enabled apache 2server. But this versin had some code duplication issues.
The code planned for 1.4 beta has a more cleaner solution. That code is now
available in cvs. I'll add documentation and to this soon. For the time being
I explained it a few in one of my replies to the user list and dev list today.
So Shijith, since you seems to be interested in testing windows I recommend to
use the code from cvs(I don't think this it is an unfair suggestion to take
code from cvs for a developer)

thanks
