Re: OpenSSL Ini Options

Hi Ralph, Btw, I added custom capath ini setting for curl already. It allows you to set it and use updated cert db as provided on curl site: http://www.php.net/manual/en/curl.configuration.php#ini.curl.cainfo Something similar could be possible for openssl. Can you open a feature request on bugs.pop.net and assign to me pls?
