I'm trying to verify that my use of libcurl can handle SSL -- and
without any fanfare, I'm able to connect to test sites like
https://www.stanford.edu/group/idg/leland/samples/secure/test.html
and I just get the page contents, no big deal.
However, I notice that another test site
<https://www.fortify.net/sslcheck.html> presents an error message:
SSL: error:14090086:SSL
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
So I *think* that everything is OK, that SSL is fully working, and it's
paying attention to certificates. I'm not terribly familiar with these
kinds of issues, so can anybody who *is* verify that everything is as
expected? Any other ways that I can test that SSL is working properly?
