Did you write a test case that dumped a certificate?

You would have seen a line
[[
OPENSSL_Uplink(62BDF000,08): no OPENSSL_Applink
]]
Instead of the certificate and an exit of the process on Windows, if this
case was tested on the buildbots.

Lieven also thinks that using this function without a context is an invalid
use of serf, as it makes it impossible to use other implementations than
openssl.

And using 'serf' directly from 'svn' will make 'svn' directly link serf in
serf.exe on Windows, because the shared library instance in libsvn_ra-1.dll
is not accessible from svn.

Perhaps we should store/cache the information that we want to show in the
auth file itself...

That allows making the UI a lot easier and providing the same information to
other clients that don't want to depend on implementation details in the ra
and auth layers.
