I'm not sure how Ralf accomplished it, but this is the technique I've used
in the past

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_44_0/doc/html/boost_asio/reference/ssl__basic_context/verify_mode.html

context.set_verify_mode(
    boost::asio::ssl::context::verify_peer ||
    boost::asio::ssl::context::verify_fail_if_no_peer_cert
);
