I guess it's optimized code.

Looks like it's the authentication handling when setting up a SSL
tunnel that's at fault here, at least I can easily reproduce it with
an apache http proxy connetion to a https repo.

The ssl tunnel is started by a CONNECT request created by serf. When
the proxy requests credentials, serf will call back to the
application. As the application doesn't know about this request, it
doesn't get a valid baton either, so can't get baton->session ...

That baton it gets is the ctx used by the ssltunnel code.

Hm, have to think about how we can solve this. Not sure it can be done
with the existing API.
