This is an excerpt of my testing code:

          Options = [
                {ssl_imp, new},
                binary,
                {nodelay, true},
                {active, false},
                {verify, verify_peer},
                {depth, 3},
                {cacertfile, "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"}
    ],
    {ok, S} = ssl:connect(?HOST, 443, Options),
    ok = ssl:send(S, Body),
    loop(S),
    ssl:close(S).

loop(S) ->
    ssl:setopts(S, [{active, once}]),
    receive
    {ssl, S, Data} ->
        io:format("received data:  ~p~n", [Data]),
        loop(S);
    {ssl_closed, S} ->
        io:format("socket closed", []);
    {ssl_error, S, Error} ->
        io:format("socket error:  ~p~n", [Error])
    end.


Once again, thanks for looking into this.
