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?
