The reversed slashes are pretty normal, and should work just fine.
What is your connection string? Are you specifying the cert file there as well?
Does the file actually exist in that directory? Does the permissions
on the file and all the directories leading up to it let you read the
file?
The code itself should actually "never" do this - it specifically
checks if the file doesn't exist, and should *not* show that error..
It should fail much later, when the server actually requests the
cert.. And the API documentation for stat() on windows says it'll
always return ENOENT on failure. Seems to me Windows is confused, but
I'm not entirely sure how.
Can you try specifying an explicit file say directly in c:\, just to
see if that works?
BTW, if you post bug reports to -bugs, it'll make a lot more people see them.
