The external editor helper application supports HTTPS connections, but does not support providing a certificate on such a connection. Therefore, for cites which require a certificate to authenticate, the external editor does not work.

It's easy to fix this; in zopeRequest, just provide the additional key_file and certificate_file arguments to zopeRequest. I've tested this out by hacking zopeedit.py to hard-code the path to my certificate and key files. If I do this as a proper patch, reading (optional) key/certificate files from the configuration file, would you consider including that change in a future version?
