It's alright. I'm actually up for any information right now.

Weird. I am sure I wasn't dealing with any pointers, and the Curl 
Documentation did say that it was safe.

Though I also tried Updating my compiler and libraries and 
compiling with the "-g" flag lead me to a errno(STD Exception) 
giving me with the phrase "(no error)". This only happened in 
C::B(I'm gonna try Programmer's Notebook if this is actually the 
fault of C::B)

Though outside the IDE it's just spewing out the same error over 
and over again. The error in the actual program outside the IDE 
was *bypassed* when inside the IDE, only giving an Access 
Violation error(pre-update) or STD Exception(post-update)

The program is pretty much finding the certificate as it's not 
the same error as not finding the file. It's just nagging at the 
fact that there maybe a path mistake(which can't be true since 
it's detecting it) and access rights(now how do I configure them 
access rights?)

Unfortunately, HTTP.caInfo(); takes in a "const char[]" so I 
can't try that option.

Thanks for the information however. :)
