Resending my mail with corrected information Dear All, My client program fails to establish the secure connection (https) with web server due to certificate chain verification failure. And I think the error is due to a self signed certificate. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___________________ MY UNDERSTANDING ---------------------- "During a session establishment a server always transmits its certificate to the client, and the client must validate the certificate.

Yes. lh..
