+ /* Document-class: OpenSSL::X509::Store
+ *
+ * The X509 certificate store holds trusted CA certificates used to verify
+ * peer certificates.
+ *
+ * The easiest way to create a useful certificate store is:
+ *
+ * cert_store = OpenSSL::X509::Store.new
+ * cert_store.set_default_paths
+ *
+ * This will use your system's built-in certificates.
+ *
+ * If your system does not have a default set of certificates you can
+ * obtain a set from Mozilla here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html
+ * (Note that this set does not have an HTTPS download option so you may
+ * wish to use the firefox-db2pem.sh script to extract the certificates
+ * from a local install to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks.)
+ *
+ * After downloading or generating a cacert.pem from the above link you
+ * can create a certificate store from the pem file like this:
+ *
+ * cert_store = OpenSSL::X509::Store.new
+ * cert_store.add_file 'cacert.pem'
+ *
+ * The certificate store can be used with an SSLSocket like this:
+ *
+ * ssl_context = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext.new
+ * ssl_context.cert_store = cert_store
+ *
+ * tcp_socket = TCPSocket.open 'example.com', 443
+ *
+ * ssl_socket = OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket.new tcp_socket, ssl_context
