BaH.libcurl with https fails, "BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED"

[nokkusuu]

When using libcurl (newest version, should support TLS) I get an error saying BADCERT_NOT_TRUSTED.

Executing:test.debug.exe

I'm no expert with this stuff, so I'm very confused. Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

You need to provide libcurl with certificates it can validate against. Have a look at ex_08.bmx in the examples folder, which shows how to connect to google.com over https.

The other option is not to validate, but you'd typically not want to do that.

I don't see an ex_08.bmx. I'm using the latest version from GitHub; is there a newer version elsewhere?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found an example in an older version of libcurlssl, with the name ex_08.bmx. I assume that's the file you were referring to. Works well now, thanks!

nokkusuu is right, ex_08.bmx is no longer in the repository.

Apologies, the example was missing from the current module.
