I checked out quite a few SSL librarys tonight. OpenSSL looks good but lacks documentation, as most of them do. I thought I hit the jackpot when I found NetSieben’s SSL C++ Library (http://www.netsieben.com/products/ssh/index.phtml) but after hours, I am unable to get it to compile. It says it needs Botan’s lib, but absolutely no information how to link it to Botan or anything.
So I am looking for a fairly easy to use SSL library. I am just using it for a client application to connect to an already existing server.
You might like CyaSSL, which is another SSL implementation. You can download it at http://www.yassl.com.
