So it seems you got a certificate request and the certificate gnutls select is 
empty. This might be because your certificate does not
match the CAs advertized by the server. You can check the CAs advertized
by the server by using gnutls-cli. If you want to override the server's
request, and send anyway a certificate you have to use the retrieve[0]
function as used in gnutls-cli (cli.c).
