' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Http")
set http = CreateObject("Chilkat.Http")

' Call SetSslCertRequirement to require that the SSL server certificate's domain
' matches only the domain we are intending to communicate with.

' In this example we will test with the URL https://wrong.host.badssl.com/
' which intentionally has an SSL certificate that does not match "wrong.host.badssl.com"

http.SetSslCertRequirement "SAN","wrong.host.badssl.com"

' Also validate the server cert..
http.RequireSslCertVerify = 1

' Try sending the request.  It should fail within the SSL/TLS handshake
' because the server's certificate does not match the domain "wrong.host.badssl.com"
