I have written some client code which uses OpenSSL plus libwww to
retrieve files from a server.  In the environment where this thing runs,
we don't really care about authenticating the server, so we want to use
a self signed certificate or make up our own little certificate
authority.  We only want to use the server certificate as a means for
sending the server's public key to the client.

When I run this application, somewhere down in OpenSSL it is deciding
that the certificate is not trusted.  It seems to have some sort of
store of trusted CA's, or something like that.  

I need a way to call something in OpenSSL to tell OpenSSL that our own
little certificate authority is trusted.  Does anybody know what I need
to do?

I'm using 0.9.5a.

Thanks.

Regards,
Charles walker
