How to set custom certificate in client? about restclient-cpp HOT 1 CLOSED

I finally got it to work. the certification path limitation in windows is actually not a problem.
the problem is that if you're not using a Certificate issued by valid authorities that are not in the bundled CA roots of curl then curl won't accept it.
so you need to set a custom CA root cert which in my case is used for a self-signed certificate.
the catch is that you have to make the CA cert and the server cert with correct parameters so curl will accept them
