Re: Help With DCM

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

DCM is sort of confusing, yes... I agree.  But so is SSL and the
terminology until you really get deep into it and use it every day.

I looked at creating a better interface but there just weren't the APIs at
that time to be able to do it with any luck.

I was also trying to look into auto installing of CAs for our products so
that the Not Trusted error wouldn't come up all the time (followed by the
tedious process of installing the CAs).  But, of course that was fruitless
as well.

Maybe it's time to write my own SSL routines.  haha!
