The mechanism used for validation of the SSL cert string was the same as for many of the other global replacement options. However, the string value that was used for checking was also the same. The result was that the patch mechanism wasn't patching the right instance of the string.
DERP!
Why this hit stageless only I'm really not sure.
Updated the code so that the TCP stuff is moved into its own file and doesn't pollute the main server file with stuff that is specific to TCP transports.
Updated the winhttp functionality in the same way so that functionality is properly segregated.
Modified the global parameters so that they're part of a structure that can be passed around.
Added a stack of documnetation as well.
Instead of basing everything on URLs, the transport hopping now actually supports the creation of a whole new transport on the fly. The transport instance is stored in the remote as a "next transport" pointer.
This better facilitates the notion of being able to set all of the parameters on the transport when doing the switch, and is a step closer to being able to support chains of transports.
