insecure (-k) requires "Common Name"

A slight bug (perhaps) in using "-k" (insecure).

I was trying to get a spammer's order page.
He had created a certificate with "" (no)
"Common Name". Even with the "-k" (allow insecure)
flag, curl responds:

 * Closing connection #0
 curl: (51) SSL: unable to obtain common name from peer certificate
