Ben,

attached, please find the modified HTTP client example which now is an 
HTTPS client example (cannot do HTTP anymore).

I marked my changes by comments starting with // <--

You can call it with something like

./tests/sslTest my.deviantart.com /services/

You will hopefully then see the userinfo cookie (which is being set 
twice for whatever reason).

Regards,

Roland
