The HTTPS client hates the abort() call

[SaltwaterC]

The HTTP example:

var http = require('http');

var options = {
    host: 'www.google.com',
    path: '/'
};
var request = http.request(options, function (response) {});

request.abort();

Nothing happens. As it should. But as soon as the connection switches to HTTPS:

var https = require('https');

var options = {
    host: 'encrypted.google.com',
    path: '/'
};
var request = https.request(options, function (response) {});

request.abort();

the tls module crashes with:

node.js:134
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
        ^
TypeError: Cannot call method 'start' of null
    at Array. (tls.js:499:14)
    at EventEmitter._tickCallback (node.js:126:26)

Ouch!
