Question

i need to use gsoap library in C++ and i need to use https. documentation says how to work with HTTPS in C, but not in C++ (http://www.cs.fsu.edu/~engelen/soapdoc2.html#tth_sEc1

i've solved this trouble by myself. but it's quirky, very quirky way. gSOAP generates C++ classes inherited from struct soap, it contains following attrs:

BIO *bio;
SSL *ssl;
