 * Hi all,
 * I’m currently building a prototype to post data from WordPress to a Rightmove
   RESTful JSON API (a rental/property website in the UK – specifically the Real
   Time Datafeed)
 * Was pretty impressed that WordPress had the HTTP API actually, but upon digging
   deeper I’ve realised it seems to be lacking a fair few things (documentation 
   being one!)
 * Does the HTTP API support mutual authentication and SSL in any way? Specifically
   the mutual authentication part? (involving client certificates?) As this is a
   requirement of the API given the sensitive nature of the data.
 * All I can find is that it can support SSL but nothing to do with client certificates,
   and basic authentication.
 * I’m far from an expert in these things but I’m thinking I need to go down the
   pure PHP route using fsock/curl
 * Cheers!
