However, it shouldn't be too hard to add something to libUrl which allows you to use "without verification". perhaps a "switch command" such as libUrlSetSSLVerification <true|false> with the default being true.

We are talking about shutting it off for the purposes of that one session with just the requests made by the Rev-based application, right?


While I think that SSL which always requires a certificate is not very useful, I also think it would be bad to so easily compromise the end-user's computer if the above is not the case. If it only shuts it off for the Rev app, and only for the current session, that would be a pretty decent and workable solution.

I can say with absolutely no authority whatsoever that using "open secure socket ... without verification" has no effect outside of Rev. :)

I'm no SSL expert, and am only transplanting the new secure socket syntax into libUrl. So your question serves as a good note of caution, and I'll get confirmation from the Rev SSL man (Tuviah) before adding this.

Cheers
Dave
