client side certificate and SSL state

Hello,

How can I clear application state in order to the system (C++ IXMLHttpRequest) prompt user to select the client certificate again (without relaunching application)?

Thanks.

UPD: Application work, however I want that system ask user about certificate again.

Sorry, but that response doesn't help.  It just refers to another thread which I actually started!  We are running into the same issues and it does appear to be an oversight by Microsoft.  The issue is really that this API doesn't offer a Disconnect function.  Certificate authentication is tied to the underlying SSL connection and the only way to re-prompt the user for a certificate is to disconnect and reconnect.
