 /* Example using an in memory PEM user certificate and RSA key to retrieve an
  * https page.
  * Written by Ishan SinghLevett, based on Theo Borm's cacertinmem.c.
- * Note this example does not use a CA certificate, however one should be used
- * if you want a properly secure connection
+ * Note that to maintain simplicity this example does not use a CA certificate 
+ * for peer verification.  However, some form of peer verification
+ * must be used in real circumstances when a secure connection is required.
