AFAIK there aren't really any online tutorials for OpenSSL that
explain how to get started.  I would recommend you buy the Open
SSL book "Network Security with OpenSSL".

You really need to understand how SSL works before trying to start
coding anything.  OpenSSL has a /very/ steep learning curve IMHO.

Good Luck!
