How to connect cl+ssl with host ca verification?

[Sabra Crolleton]

Do either of the following cl+ssl functions called before making the
postmodern query work to give cl+ssl the appropriate root CA?

(cl+ssl:use-certificate-chain-file "/some/path/to/your-pem-file.pem")
>

or

(cl+ssl:ssl-load-global-verify-locations
> '("/some/path/to/your-pem-file.pem"))
>
