I am trying to disable Server's Certificate Issue Date Validation in libcurl.
For that, I have registered a own_verify_callback function by calling
SSL_CTX_set_verify in sslContextVerify callback (set via curl_easy_setopt(curl,
CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION, sslContextVerify)).

The "own_verify_callback" gets called (I have print in this function and
they are printed on console) and it returns 1 but still curl connection
fails (i.e., curl_easy_perform returns with an error) with error "SSL
certificate verify result: certificate is not yet valid (9)". However, it
should allow the connection.

I have set the system's date and time to 1990 and I was testing the Issue
Date Validation.

Looks like there is a bug in libcurl or I am missing something important?.

Is there something I am doing wrong or is it a well-known bug? My code is
below:
