Ah, I see. But it does work when ssl is not used, right? A possible solution would be one of:

 - support host:port in SSL codepath (shouldn't it be trivial?);
 - split the description in the documentation to clarify it does not work
   for SSL; or
 - remove host:port support to make both consistent.

To me, the last one makes the least sense. Is that the approach you are taking?
