Good C++ library for HTTPS connection ? Certificate is signed by a certificate autority

I have 2 questions:

Q1 : Does anyone know a good C++ library to perform requests towards a HTTPS server?

Note that the SSL certificate on the server will be provided by a certificate autority like VeriSign.

Q2 : So, could I embedded the root certificate of the CA in my C++ application so that it will be automatically used by the library? I don't want the user to add it manually in its operating system.

Thanks for your advices.

Solution

  • would both be able to use openssl. You can make it use CA certs provided by your application. I don't think it is easy to use embedded resources
