Hi,

Unfortunately WebKitGTK+ does not support client certificate 
authentication. This is https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164509. 
There is a WIP patch to implement it there, but it's been abandoned, so 
somebody will need to rebase it on trunk (not sure how hard that would 
be) and complete Sergio's TODO list in comment #2.
