        Description copied from interface: SSLCertificateApprovalCallback
        This method is called when the server sends it's certificate to the client. The 'status' argument passed to this method is constructed by NSS. It's a list of things 'wrong' with the certificate (which you can see by calling the status.getReasons() method. So, if there are problems regarding validity or trust of any of the certificates in the chain, you can present this info to the user. If there are no items in the Enumeration returned by getReasons(), you can assume that the certificate is trustworthy, and return true, or you can continue to make further tests of your own to determine trustworthiness.
