You should take a look at http://www.w3.org/Library/Examples/wwwssl.c, in
particular the following fragment,
/* Set the SSL protocol method. By default, it is the highest
available protocol. Setting it up to SSL_V23 allows the client
to negotiate with the server and set up either TSLv1, SSLv3,
or SSLv2 */
HTSSL_protMethod_set (HTSSL_V23);
/* Set the certificate verification depth to 2 in order to be able to
validate self signed certificates */
HTSSL_verifyDepth_set (2);
/* Register SSL stuff for handling ssl access */
HTSSLhttps_init(YES);
Since you are using c++, the libwww function prototypes will need to be
declared as being external c calls. For example, around your includes,
#include <iostream.h>
extern "C" {
#define BOOL int
#include <HTChunk.h>
}
void main( int argc, char** argv ) {
HTChunk * c = HTChunk_new ( 1024 );
int s = HTChunk_size ( c );
cout << "Chunk allocated at " << c << ", "
<< "of size " << s << "." << endl;
}
We may do this is to add a decoration to the top of the libwww headers
like,
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
and the corresponding
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
