Hi,

I am new to libcurl and beg your patience. I am developing an application using C on Windows 2000 for personal use using curl version 7.10.7. I set up my own website on IIS version 6.0. I obtained a trial certificate from Verisign and have set it up such that I am able to make an ssl connection through my browser to this website. I am having problems verifying my servers certificate when I try to make a curl connection from my application I cannot verify the server.

I have succeeded in connecting to the server and perform my functionality with verifypeer set to false.

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE);

However, when I set it to true I get the error

* SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK

I have tried various combinations of

curl_easy_setopt(curl,CURLOPT_CAINFO,pCACertFile);

but none of these seem to be working properly. It is my understanding that the cert bundle should be able to authenticate certificates(temporary?) signed by verisign.

Perhaps, I have not set up/using the bundle correctly, there is no support for temporary certificates or I am using the CURLOPT_CAINFO option incorrectly.

I have more than likely missed/misread some documentation or am using libcurl incorrectly. Any advise on how to use libcurl to verify my servers certificate would be much appreciated.

All the best.
