RE: Use of SSL

hello 
i tried this way also , i.e just added the initialization /termintaion
statements & tried to 
load the foll. url: https://investing.schwab.com/trading/start
but i always get the foll. error....
Fatal Error: SSLWRITE operation failed (WinSock reported error=0)

Now my code consists of just the foll. statements:
    HTProfile_newPreemptiveClient("TestApp", "1.0");
    HTSSLhttps_init(YES);
    HTPrint_setCallback(printer);
    HTTrace_setCallback(tracer);
    HTSetTraceMessageMask("sop");
    HTRequest_setOutputFormat(request, WWW_RAW);
    HTRequest_addConnection(request, "close", "");
    char * cwd = HTGetCurrentDirectoryURL();
    char * absolute_url = HTParse(url, cwd, PARSE_ALL);
    chunk = HTLoadToChunk(absolute_url, request);
    char * string = HTChunk_toCString(chunk);
    HTSSLhttps_terminate();
    HTProfile_delete();

Am i still missing something......
Also , the secureget example of the glue code itself is not working .... may
be i have the wrong glue code ...but i downloaded it yesterday only from the
libwww site....:-( 

the foll. is the error dump

Subject: Use of SSL


Hi,

there seems to be some confusion about the use of SSL with Libwww.
At first: Install OpenSSL and the Gluecode.
Then insert the initialization- and termination-calls into your program.
(HTSSLhttps_init and HTSSLhttps_terminate)
SSL is implemented via filters for "https://*". So, if you add filters for
"http://*" you also have to add those filters for "https://*".
Then the use of SSL is, as Olga just said again, totally transparent.
You don't need code like the following (recently posted).
>    HTProfile_newPreemptiveClient((LPCTSTR)AfxGetAppName(), VERSION); 
>    HTProtocol_add("https", "buffered_tcp", 443, YES, HTLoadHTTP, NULL);
