Log:
- Bugs: 5925, 6424.
- Eliminate separate call for SSL servers to IO::Socket::SSL to retrieve
vertical alignment for mimetex images. Use IO::Socket::INET for both
SSL and non-SSL web servers. Rewrite rules may need to be changed on
SSL web servers to serve HEAD requests for /cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi from port 80.

+ Makes a HEAD call to /cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi via IO:: to retrieve the
+ vertical alignment, before the subsequent call to mimetex_converted()
+ which generates the <img> tag and the corresponding image.
+
+ Input: 1. $esc_texstring (escaped TeX to be rendered by mimetex).
+ Output: 1. $valign - number of pixels: positive or negative integer
+ which will be included in <img> tag for mimetex image to
+ support vertical alignment of image within a line of text.
+
+ If a server is running SSL, and Apache rewrite rules are in place
+ to rewrite requests for http to https, modification will most likely
+ be needed for pass through for HEAD requests for /cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi.
+
+ Example rewrite rules which rewrite all http traffic to https,
+ except HEAD requests for /cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi are:
+
+ <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
+ RewriteEngine On
+ RewriteLogLevel 0
+
+ RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
+ RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} (.*)
+ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !HEAD
+ RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%1/$1 [R=301,L]
