// Gist trait for doing SSL with mutual certificate exchange using dispatch.
// This works without having to set up global JDK-wide keystore and truststore files.
//
// Assumes the following:
//   You have the server certificate from the site you are calling and you have created a JKS
//   format keystore containing this file, which will act as your truststore:
//     > keytool -import -alias foo -file server.crt -keystore my.truststore
//
//   You have been issued with a client certificate and private key and these have been issued
//   as a pkcs12 format keystore.
//
