Research direction

Start by tracing how ServerRequest is created and how the connection event handler and request handler communicate. Determine where the underlying socket Connection can be exposed without breaking the request API; done means the request handler can access it and client-certificate data can be passed through for mutual authentication.

Description

help wanted new feature

The request object passed to the request handler should be able to access the underlying socket connection. At the moment, there is no way for the Connection object to be passed between a connection event handler and a request handler - an example of why this is an issue is data from a client certificate when using mutual authentication cannot be passed to the request handler (e.g. certificate Common Name).
