Hi

We're using libcurl, locally built, with our own build of OpenSSL/1.0.2.
curl 7.54.1-DEV (powerpc-apple-darwin8.11.0) libcurl/7.54.1-DEV OpenSSL/1.0.2n 
zlib/1.2.3
Release-Date: [unreleased]
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps ldap ldaps pop3 
pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp 
Features: IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP UnixSockets HTTPS-proxy 

The other day one of our applications stopped working at an awkward moment, 
reporting "result code 77, error setting certificate verify locations".  We 
have seen this error from time to time (very rarely) since 2004.  It's not 
anything to do with the file of PEM-encoded x509 certificates, the 
certificates, or the path to the file.

I can see people complaining about this in the past:
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=libcurl+result+code+77,+error+setting+certificate+verify+locations

It's really an OpenSSL problem rather than a libcurl one.  libcurl built 
against OpenSSL may call SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(), which is a wrapper 
around X509_STORE_load_locations(), and that is failing for no good reason that 
we can see.

"That we can see".  There is probably useful information available via the 
OpenSSL error stack, but I can't see how to get at that starting from the CURL 
context pointer.  It would be useful to us if, for builds against OpenSSL, 
libcurl had API to expose the OpenSSL SSL_CTX content pointer, so that 
additional error investigation/reporting can be carried out in client 
applications.
