Since web connections are just a bunch of small independant
transactions, there is no persistant 'connection' that you have
authorised, therefore you will be prompted for your client cert for
every new connection. Most browsers support automatic presentatation of
client certs, so it's usually just a question of tweaking your browser's
settings to get rid of this problem.
