I wanted to use std.net.curl to make a simple request over SSL, for ex. get("https://google.com"). It failed with the message "Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates". In documentation I could not find anything, so it was a tedious search for something that has actually an easy resolution. Since this is a quite common usage scenario, it should be documented. Also note that the HTTP.caInfo does not have any doc entry.

SSL usage example:
-----
auto http = HTTP();

// Set the CA certificate bundle file to use for SSL peer verification
// To dowload this file (or generate it yourself) see
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
// For more information about SSL peer verification see
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html
http.caInfo("cacert.pem");

//http.handle.set(CurlOption.ssl_verifypeer, 0); // do not verify ssl
certifiactes, use with care!

auto resp = get("https://google.com", http);
