I think it is better to use different names for different kinds of
fingerprints. So, for example, if SHA3 is implemented later, it would be
possible to have both ssl_sha256 and ssl_sha3 in the same file.

If ssl_fingerprint means sha256 now and changes to sha3 in some version,
you will get broken configuration file.

Your own client is patched irssi? Can you share the patch too?
