I seem to always have trouble getting SOAP4R to use SSL - with http-
access2 - because it rejects the other's certificate (at least on
Windows).

1. How can I install a CA root and tell SOAP4R / http-access2 to use
it?
2. Failing that, how can I tell them all to not verify the cert?
(Although you loose MITM protection, you still retain at least privacy
from passive attacks.)

Is this an OpenSSL on Windows issue, or a configuration issue specific
to http-access2?

Any help greatly appreciated.

There are a number of tutorials for setting up certificates, I never
had to deal with it. But if you want to ignore the verification on,
say, a SOAP::RPC::Driver object, you might do something like:
driver.options["protocol.http.ssl_config.verify_mode"] = 0

use http-access2 2.0.7 (released 2 days ago)

This worked for me.

Or:
You can also disable verification with 'verify_mode = nil'

Or:
use 'client.ssl_config.set_trust_ca('ca.cer')'
to get the ca.cet -> go into Control Panel -> Internet Options ->
Content tab -> Certificates -> Trusted Root Certificates -> select the
right CA -> Export -> select Base 64 Encoding -> save to file (ca.cer)
