Thanks for the tip, it has put me one step closer to my goal.  I can gather
info about the certificate in the service method, but I haven't figured out
how to pass it into the handler..=20

class MyServlet < XMLRPC::WEBrickServlet
    def service(request, response)
        @client_cert_subject=3Drequest.client_cert.subject
        puts client_cert_subject   # this works
        super
    end
end

servlet =3D MyServlet.new

something =3D SomeObject.new=20

servlet.add_handler("something.do_something") do
    puts @client_cert_summary    # this prints "nil"
    something.do_something
end

And also if I "puts self.inspect" inside the add_handler block, I get "main=
".
Which wasn't quite what I expected. =20
