This is a demo program for libwebpki.

build.rs shows how to create a build script that embeds a set of trust anchors into a program in a compact form, given a set of X.509 root certificate files.

The function verify_cert in src/verify_tls_cert.rs demonstrates how to use the libwebpki API to verify a certificate.

You can build this with cargo build. Cargo will download libwebpki, ring, and the other dependencies automatically as part of the build.

This program connects to the given server over TLS to extract its certificate chain. After building the program, you can run it as so:

$ target/debug/verify_tls_cert briansmith.org
OK

$ target/debug/verify_tls_cert expired.badssl.com
CertExpired

$ target/debug/verify_tls_cert wrong.host.badssl.com
CertNotValidForName

This demo does not implement the full TLS protocol--it implements just enough to extract the server's certificate chain.
