I can't help too much with your problem, except to say that calling SSL::rengotiate will not (or at least definitely should not) make the HTTP_REQUEST event fire again. In general, one layer should not affect another. Just like a TCP retransmission should not make HTTP_REQUEST fire again, so too should an SSL renegotiation not make it fire again.
If you need to do something in the HTTP layer that depends on SSL renegotiation that itself depends on something in the HTTP layer (for example, checking the requested URI to determine if an SSL cert is required, and then renegotating for one, and then inserting an HTTP header based on that cert), then you may need to investigate the HTTP_REQUEST_SEND event.
