 As we get savvier about TLS as part of the HTTPS Everywhere movement, one
 use-case that would be nice to support is using Client Certificates when
 making HTTPS requests. Using client certificates for authentication is a
 strong way to build trusted APIs.

 This looks like it would be fairly straightforward to implement as the
 option is supported by both Curl and PHP stream contexts
 ({{{CURLOPT_SSLCERT}}} or {{{local_cert}}}, respectively). We'd just need
 to add the handling for specifying the path to a client cert as part of
 the $options array in the API calls, and turn that in the proper option
 for the actual transporter.

 I should be able to create a patch for this shortly.
