       TLS::verifyCertificate - Verify a server's certificate

SYNOPSIS

       Void verifyCertificate( TLSsession session, String hostname="" )

ARGUMENTS

       session An open TLS session

       hostname  The  hostname  of the server connected to. This may be left blank, in which case
       only the validity of the certificate will be checked. It is much more secure to specify  a
       hostname, so that it can be confirmed that the host connected to is the expected one.

DESCRIPTION

       Verify  that the server connected to has a valid server certificate. This should be called
       before sending or receiving confidential data on the connection.
