// TODO Remove skip. TLS is currently broken, but is not a priority to fix since
// the current Solid spec does not require supporting webid-tls on the resource
// server. The current spec only requires the resource server to support webid-oidc,
// and it requires the IDP to support webid-tls as a log in method, so that users of
// a webid-tls client certificate can still use their certificate (and not a
// username/password pair or other login method) to "bridge" from webid-tls to
// webid-oidc.
// SKIPPED: Tests timeout due to self-signed certificate verification loop.
//
// The WebID-TLS authentication code (lib/api/authn/webid-tls.mjs) works correctly
// in production with real certificates. The test failure is a bootstrapping issue:
//
// 1. Test client connects with cert containing WebID https://tim.localhost:7777/profile/card#me
// 2. Server calls webid.verify() which fetches that profile URL (lib/webid/lib/get.mjs)
// 3. Internal fetch() rejects the self-signed certificate, causing timeout
//
// The NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0 env var is set for the test runner, but doesn't
// affect the server's internal fetch() calls during WebID verification.
//
// ALTERNATIVE TESTS THAT WORK (see test/unit/):
// - tls-authenticator-test.mjs: Tests TlsAuthenticator with mocked webid.verify()
// - auth-handlers-test.mjs: Tests setAuthenticateHeader() for WebID-TLS
//
// SUGGESTED ADDITIONAL UNIT TESTS (no network required):
// 1. Test verifyKey() directly by passing profile content as string:
// import { verifyKey } from 'lib/webid/lib/verify.mjs'
// verifyKey(certObj, webId, turtleProfile, 'text/turtle', callback)
//
// 2. Test URI extraction from certificate SAN field
//
// 3. Test handler behavior with/without client certificate:
// - No cert → should call next() with empty session
// - Cert present → should attempt verification
//
// To enable these integration tests, either:
// - Configure a test CA that the server trusts
// - Mock webid.verify() at the integration level
// - Add NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED support to lib/webid/lib/get.mjs
//
// See: https://github.com/nodeSolidServer/node-solid-server/issues/1841
