Ben,

I am on a similar track, only I started from the HTTP client example and 
added HTTPS (just started, not finished, yet).

To my understanding, you should replace

ctx.set_verify_mode(ssl::context::verify_peer);
ctx.load_verify_file("ca.pem");

by

ctx.set_verify_mode(ssl::context::verify_none);

It might also make sense (it did for me), to replace

     boost::asio::ssl::context ctx(io_service, 
boost::asio::ssl::context::sslv23);

by

     boost::asio::ssl::context ctx(io_service, 
boost::asio::ssl::context::sslv23_client);

HTH

Regards,

Roland
