(Visual Basic 6.0) HTTP - Verify Server is a Trusted Root CA

Demonstrates how to only allow connections to an HTTP server having a certificate with a root that is in our list of trusted CA root certificates.

' Starting in v9.5.0.49, all Chilkat classes can be unlocked at once at the beginning of a program

'  On my particular system, the root CA cert for this URL is not pre-installed.

'  but may not be valid at a future date.

'  Require that the SSL/TLS server certificate is not expired,
'  and that the certificate signature is valid.
'  This does not ensure that it has a chain of authentication to
'  a trusted root.  To ensure that, the TrustedRoots object (below) is required.

'  should fail.

'  Indicate that we will trust any pre-installed certificates on this system.

'  Otherwise, we'll simply be re-using the pre-existing connection.
