NAME
       ne_ssl_certificate, ne_ssl_dname - structures representing SSL certificates

SYNOPSIS
       #include <ne_session.h>

       /* A simplified X.509 distinguished name. */
       typedef struct {
	   const char *country, *state, *locality, *organization;
	   const char *organizationalUnit;
	   const char *commonName;
       } ne_ssl_dname;

       /* A simplified SSL certificate. */
       typedef struct {
	   const ne_ssl_dname *subject, *issuer;
	   const char *from, *until;
       } ne_ssl_certificate;

DESCRIPTION
       The ne_ssl_dname structure is used to represent a simplified X.509 distinguished name, as used in SSL certificates; a distinguished name is
       used to uniquely identify an entity. Along with the fields giving the geographical and organizational location of the entity,  the  common-
       Name  field  will be assigned the DNS hostname of the entity. The ne_ssl_readable_dname function can be used to create a single-line string
       out of an ne_ssl_dname structure.

       The ne_ssl_certificate structure is used to represent a simplified SSL certificate; containing the distinguished names of  the  issuer  and
       subject	of the certificate. The issuer is the entity which has digitally signed the certificate to guarantee its authenticity; the subject
       is the owner of the certificate. A certificate is only valid for a certain period of time: the from and until contain  strings  giving  the
       validity period.
