    long verifyresult;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(res)
      printf("error: %s\n", curl_easy_strerror(res));
    curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT, &verifyresult);
    printf("The peer verification said %s\n", verifyresult?
