You may want to join discussion here, about the similar patch
submitted:
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2012-August/002643.html
In particular, I would like someone to actually test if the
error_page 495 aproach works instead as suggested here:
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2012-August/002650.html
And a quick comment for your patch: I tend to think that
introduction of ngx_http_ssl_variable_get_client_verify() is
misleading. We shouldn't try to claim the certificate was
verified unless it actually was.
