title: ASIHTTPRequest: https with SSL
body: <p>How to implement a https connection with SSL and <code>ASIHTTPRequest</code>? Are there some special steps to do? Can it be that this has nothing to do with <code>ASIHTTPRequest</code>? It has to do only with the server-side I think. Can someone post a link or describe the process of how a https connection can be established?</p>
  
  <p>This is what I found out so far:</p>
  
  <p>I read somewhere that you need a "real" SSL certificate and not a self signed one. There are also not all provider of SSL certificates supported I think (read <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4415" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a>).</p>
  
  <p>You also have to run through the U.S. Government requirement for a CCATS review and approval. (see <a href="http://www.zetetic.net/blog/2009/08/03/mass-market-encryption-commodity-classification-for-iphone-applications-in-8-easy-steps/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>).</p>
