necessary. For example, you can use this function to call library-specific
callbacks to add additional validation code for certificates, and even to
change the actual URI of an HTTPS request.
WARNING: The \fICURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION(3)\fP callback allows the application
to reach in and modify SSL details in the connection without libcurl itself
knowing anything about it, which then subsequently can lead to libcurl
unknowingly reusing SSL connections with different properties.
