Description
Hi,
I have a deployment of next cloud behind a reverse proxy which secures the connection via mutual TLS with client certs. Supporting this would require extending com.owncloud.android.lib.common.OwnCloudClient to support mutual TLS authentication and loading a keystore containing the cert to use.
