I'm using an java-based SSL server running on my dev box (Windows) to test our client implementation. The server uses a 
self-signed cert.

The client calls OpenSSL APIs. It doesn't set SSL_CTX_set_cert_verify_callback, AFAICT, s.t. the server cert validation 
is the default system mechanism.

When I run the client, it connects and writes to the server w.o. any errors.This is not what I expect. The client write 
(or possibly connect?) should fail authenticating the server, since the server cert is self-signed. What's going on?

Additional info: this is QNX 6.5.
