And because I thought it was worth the effort, I made changes in the
0.9-devel branch that makes this possible. Documentation about using
the new constructor parameters (_openssl_certificate and
_openssl_verify_path) pending, but the idea is simple:
using namespace boost::network::http;
client c(_openssl_certificate="/tmp/my-cert");
client::request req("https://some.server.com/";);
client::response res = c.get(req);
I've just pushed this to 0.9-devel so you should be able to start
using this in your application.
HTH!
