There is no special support for HTTPS tests in WebTest (yet?).  You
may do HTTPS requests if you have installed either Crypt::SSLeay or
IO::Socket::SSL (one of them is required to enable SSL support in LWP)
but there is no special test parameters to send client side certs (as
I understand this is what you need) or to verify server side certs.

From Crypt::SSLeay docs ( see http://xrl.us/l5i ) it looks you can
specify some SSL connection parameters via environment variables. You
can try it. If it works or even if doesn't I'd love to get your
feedback.

Ccing also to HTTP-WebTest mailing list so others can benefit from
this discussion.
