Description
An ftp:// transfer configured with CURLUSESSL_NONE can reuse a pooled FTP control connection that a previous easy handle upgraded with STARTTLS and authenticated using a client certificate. The second handle performs neither a new TLS handshake nor a new FTP login, so the server continues to authorize it under the first handle's certificate identity.
