New to openssl

[Wai Wu]

Hi all,

 

I am new to openssl, but have been a c, c++ system programmer for a long long time. Is there a place where I can find a very simple c client source code with openssl? All I need  is a demo to goto my secured web server and download a page securely. No certificate Auth is needed at this point. Thnx.

Did you look in the apps sub-directory?  In particular, the code for
s_client.

Strangely I could not find much around either.  There are some
examples at:

http://www.opensslbook.com/code.html 

I recommend that you buy that book and "SSL and TLS Designing and
Building Secure Systems" by Eric Rescorla.

BTW: There was talk of an "Advanced beginners guide" here a few months
back.  Is anyone still interested?

Best Regards,
Mark Williams

I just got Network Security with OpenSSL byt Pravir Chandra, Matt
Messier, John Viega. Great book, got me running and wrote a simple
client (C++) in a hour.  I was able to from my client app put down a
page from a https site. With CA verification.
