wsclient to https with anonymous authentication

I'm trying to use wsclient (from the 2.0.0 source build) to consume a simple service supplied by an https server that does not require any client authentication, but cannot get beyond the "server certificate not found" error. Here's my command line: $ ../bin/wsclient --action=GetEvents/getevents \ --server-cert=/vm/test/wscol.cert \ https://wscol.sky.it/wsxbus/ws/GetEvents < skyit.qry wscol.cert is the server's cert which I retrieved via: echo | openssl s_client -connect wscol.sky.it:443 2>&1 | sed -ne '/-BEGIN CERTIFICATE-/,/-END CERTIFICATE-/p' > wscol.cert I am able to do a similar thing using the GnuTLS (gnutls-cli) generic client with anonymous authentication, so I know the server supports it. I did build wsf/c with the --enable-openssl option, and I can execute the rampartc/sec_echo sample, so SSL appears to be operational. The wsclient.log file shows: [info] [rampart][rampart_mod] rampart_mod initialized [info] [rahas]Rahas module initialized [error] stub.c(1005) [wsclient] server certificate not found I know it sees the wscol.cert file, because if I change the name, it complains about a file not found. But I don't know whether the "server certificate not found" is relating to an issue with its contents, or some other configuration issue. As a related question, is there a wsclient option to skip authenticating the server's cert? Partially related question: how does one sign up for your online training courses? I see course descriptions and prices, but don't see any option to register, purchase, sign up, etc. (I've also tried contacting the company to purchase one of the described support options (e.g. quickstart support), but never received any response. Thanks in advance, Jack
