Hi,
Thanks for your suggestion Daniel. I used libcurl CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST =
false. But the main cause of the problem was with respect to Key Usage
attribute in certificate. I had set it just to "key encipherment" now I
added one more option "digital certificate" to it.

Things are working fine now.

Cheers
Chidanand.
