C/C++ socket client (connecting to SSL server)

Hi, I need someone to build a small C (or C++) script thats connects to a SSL server and that can write to, and receive data (server response) from the server. The connection is made with a standard socket connection. I've got an client example developed in C, but that one can't connect to a SSL server. There are two possibilities: 1 - add SSL feature in existing C script or 2 - build a new one in C++ We want to keep option 2 because creating a ssl socket client in C++ is probably easier than in C!
