c++, openssl & how to create SSL context

[Encapsulin]

I am trying to add ssl support to the application:
- download http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8a.tar.gz
- compile it on windows XP as described in openssl/insatll.w32
- add object files to the VC project
- and use the following expression:

SSL_METHOD* pSSLMethod = SSLv3_client_method();
char sSSLFile[1024];
const char* pszRandFile = RAND_file_name(sSSLFile,
sizeof(sSSLFile));
if (pszRandFile == NULL) {
Disconnect();
return FALSE;
}

RAND_load_file(pszRandFile, -1);
if (RAND_status() == 0) {
Disconnect();
return FALSE;
}

SSL_CTX* pSSLContext = SSL_CTX_new(pSSLMethod);
if (pSSLContext == NULL) {
Disconnect();
return FALSE;
}

But last expression returned FALSE. Why pSSLContext = NULL, what is the
reason?
How to create SSL context? Is there some manual about ssl?

You can't, it's too late. Next time, make sure you read a newsgroup's
charter before posting. But thanks anyways, you seldom see someone
wanting to delete his post.
