Hi Daniel,

Apologies on the ssh statement - I meant https :)

The main reason why I followed the guide was because I am trying to do
an https post to a web application I have developed, where I need both
the host and peer to be verified. I ran into problems when including
the CURLOPT_CAINFO instruction in VS2005, so I assumed I need to
possibly use OpenSSL to solve my problem - that is why I followed the
guide in VS2008. (I am kinda new to using curl so I wanted to follow
it verbatim).

However, I have just found that even if I just use the libcurl library
in VS2008 it gives me the same problem (https unsupported) when using
https without the CURLOPT_CAINFO instruction - this does work in
VS2005 however...
