Demonstrates how to use a client certificate with a REST connection. PHP Extension

// Set the certificate to be used for mutual TLS authentication
// (i.e. sets the client-side certificate for two-way TLS authentication)
// Note: There are other ways to set the client certificate using Chilkat.
// For example, on Windows systems, a Chilkat certificate object could be loaded with certificate
// pre-installed (with private key) in a Windows certificate store, and then socket.SetSslClientCert could be called.

// the certificate and associated private key.)
