Two reasons:

1. I was following:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/ssl-tcp.html

I did not know this page existed:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/libpq-ssl.html

Connecting the two pages would have helped me. 


2. I probably made a mistake trying the various combinations.
Knowing how Michael traced the connection with ssldump would be
VERY helpful.  Trying to put it together from strace is much harder
and I probably made multiple mistakes.  I was on a fishing expedition
at best as I didn't know how it went together.
