// Demonstrate the CertStore object with WiFiClientBearSSL
//
// Before running, you must download the set of certs using
// the script "certs-from-mozilla.py" (no parameters)
// and then uploading the generated .AR file to SPIFFS or SD.
//
// You do not need to generate the ".IDX" file listed below,
// it is generated automatically when the CertStore object
// is created and written to SD or SPIFFS by the ESP8266.
//
// Why would you need a CertStore?
//
// If you know the exact server being connected to, or you
// are generating your own self-signed certificates and aren't
// allowing connections to HTTPS/TLS servers out of your
// control, then you do NOT want a CertStore.  Hardcode the
// self-signing CA or the site's x.509 certificate directly.
//
// However, if you don't know what specific sites the system
// will be required to connect to and verify, a
// CertStore can allow you to select from among
// 10s or 100s of CAs against which you can check the
// target's X.509, without taking any more RAM than a single
// certificate.  This is the same way that standard browsers
// and operating systems verify SSL connections.
//
// About the chosen certs:
// The certificates are scraped from the Mozilla.org current
// list, but please don't take this as an endorsement or a
// requirement:  it is up to YOU, the USER, to specify the
// certificate authorities you will use as trust bases.
