Instead of just reporting a 500 error with some generic text, I thought it might be useful to know when an actual SSL related error occurred. It the idea is to prevent MitM attacks, it might be important to warn users it might be happening.
Currently doesn't drill down the `getCause()` tree very far, just determines if it was an `SSLHandshakeException`.
In our app this is leading to errors on URLs that are already properly encoded (they are being double-encoded... %20 -> %2520, etc)
Feel free to ignore or close this one if you need this functionality, but since `post()` URLs were *not* being encoded, I thought it might have just been a default that didn't affect you one way or the other.
