Detailed Description

Verifies a certificate against a hostname according to the rules described in RFC 2818.

Example: The following example shows how to synchronously open a secure connection to a given host name:
using boost::asio::ip::tcp;

namespace ssl = boost::asio::ssl;

typedef ssl::stream<tcp::socket> ssl_socket;

// Create a context that uses the default paths for finding CA certificates.

ssl::context ctx(ssl::context::sslv23);

ctx.set_default_verify_paths();

// Open a socket and connect it to the remote host.

boost::asio::io_service io_service;

ssl_socket sock(io_service, ctx);

tcp::resolver resolver(io_service);

tcp::resolver::query query("host.name", "https");

boost::asio::connect(sock.lowest_layer(), resolver.resolve(query));

sock.lowest_layer().set_option(tcp::no_delay(true));

// Perform SSL handshake and verify the remote host's certificate.

sock.set_verify_mode(ssl::verify_peer);

sock.set_verify_callback(ssl::rfc2818_verification("host.name"));

sock.handshake(ssl_socket::client);

// ... read and write as normal ...
