Suppose it was possible, don't you think this would undermine the whole
idea that's behind SSL certificates (to uniquely identify
machines/people)?
Also the whole SSL process is handled in the webserver and client
inbetween the network protocol and HTTP, SSL is transpartent to your
scripts (other than the couple of variables that optionally get set by
the httpd).
