I am developing an application that uses libcurl for online support. The application is linux based. The windows counterparts of the app are using WinInet to do the same jobs. The problem I am facing is as under.
When the app has to access an https based url and the host server presents a self signed certificate then ssl fails to authenticate the certificate. Hence application is unable to access the website. The same url when is accessed using a browser then it throws up a dialog warning the user and then asks it to whether to accept, reject or examine the certificate. If the user choses to accept the certificate the browser proceeds further and connects to the page. I want to add similar functionality to my curl based app. I tried to add code using openssl api's which gets the peer certificate and displays it. The problem I am facing is that although curl exposes SSL_CTX, but it hides the SSL * from my application. My question to curl is: Is there a way for my app to get SSL *. Or rather I request curl developers to please add a CURLINFO_SSL_HANDLE enum to curl_easy_getinfo api. My question to openssl is: Is there a way to get all SSL handles associated with SSL_CTX handle. -Arvind Sachdeva. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
