The attached patch set enhances that support by allowing PKCS #11 URLs
in the certificate field as well. As it is now nginx can work with
arbitrary hardware security modules using libp11 and engine_pkcs11 from
their git repositories.

That allows both certificate and key directives to be used with PKCS
#11 objects as:
ssl_certificate "pkcs11:model=..."
ssl_certificate_key "pkcs11:model="

(that simplifies loading of certificates which are stored inside the
module).

Nikos
