No, it is not possible to examine or insert HTTP headers from the SSL rule events. The brief explanation is that the SSL handshake must complete before the HTTP headers are sent. I think you can solve your problem by using HTTP::redirect back to the same HTTP::uri if the client certificate is required but not present. This will force the client to retry the request. Some care should be taken to ensure that you don't create a redirect loop in the event that the client continues to connect without a certificate. There's no really good way to do this. Your best bet is probably to add a parameter to the querystring of the redirect URI. Hope this helps...
