class NetSSL_API InvalidCertificateHandler
	/// A InvalidCertificateHandler is invoked whenever an error occurs verifying the certificate. It allows the user
	/// to inspect and accept/reject the certificate.
	/// One can install one's own InvalidCertificateHandler by implementing this interface. Note that
	/// in the cpp file of the subclass the following code must be present (assuming you use the namespace My_API 
	/// and the name of your handler class is MyGuiHandler):
	///    
	///    #include "Poco/Net/CertificateHandlerFactory.h"
	///    ...
	///    POCO_REGISTER_CHFACTORY(My_API, MyGuiHandler)
	///
	/// One can either set the handler directly in the startup code of the main method of ones application by calling
	///
	///    SSLManager::instance().initialize(mypassphraseHandler, myguiHandler, mySSLContext)
	///
	/// or in case one uses Poco::Util::Application one can rely on an XML configuration and put the following entry
	/// under the path openSSL.invalidCertificateHandler:
	///    
	///    <invalidCertificateHandler>
	///        <name>MyGuiHandler<name>
	///        <options>
	///            [...] // Put optional config params for the handler here
	///        </options>
	///    </invalidCertificateHandler>
	/// Note that the name of the InvalidCertificateHandler must be same as the one provided to the POCO_REGISTER_CHFACTORY macro.
