That makes it easy to associate a particular getConnection call with a
presented certificate.
But to make the code less nasty, hostname and port might actually do the trick
because that suffices to identify the server that presented the certificate
(since a server only has one cert).
The attached changes provide as first parameter "hostname:port" to the factory
as given in the Properties object, so I removed the &urlServer& thing.
