Hi Daniel,

Yes, the return value was CURLE_SSL_PEER_CERTIFICATE and I used
"curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1)" as suggested by you and
the code works fine! Thanks a lot for the prompt reply!

A couple of more questions...

1. About SSL certificates, if I have to post an XML request to an HTTPS
server which has a valid CA certificate...do I need to have any CA
certificate on the client side too??

2. My next question would be really frustrating for you...u can answer this
only if u feel like. I'm checking the docs to see if I can know how to do
the following...
My requirement is to do a post to one https server with some name/value
pairs
ServerName=XYZ
UserName=ABC
Password=@##@
Version=1.0
XML=<!DOCTYPE MySytem "FILE.dtd>

How will I cuse curl commannd line utility to do this?

Regards,
-Naved

And what does the curl_easy_perform() return here? Could it be
CURLE_SSL_PEER_CERTIFICATE?

A guess would be that you need to:

        curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1);

... as well, since your server cert's CN field hardly matches your given IP
address... curl -k does that.
