[RFC] netx/plugin: do not prompt user multiple times for the same Certificate

Hi,

In the current implementation of the plugin, when the user rejects a 
https certificate, the next time the https connection is attempted, 
another certificate warning is shown.

The attached patch makes it so that if the user does not accept a 
certificate, he is not prompted again for accepting it. The patch keeps 
a list of certificates that the user has not accepted and skips the user 
prompt if it is for one of those certificates.

Any comments or suggestions?

Cheers,
Omair
