I've noticed that in 8.0, calls to SSL.File()->set_alert_callback() attempt to call set_alert_callback() on the underlying Connection object. That seems problematic to me, as the connection object is no longer being created in the constructor, so there doesn't appear to be any other way to set an alert callback before the possibility of an alert being generated.

Does anyone know if this was an oversight, or by design? Currently set_alert_callback() generates an indexing error which seems wrong regardless.

Thanks!
