Forgive me, but this just says you use SecureTransport today and you don't 
even know if you can switch over to OpenSSL without losing functionality. 
That's a pretty weak argument if you ask me.

But I can help you out and say that OpenSSL does not natively support 
accessing the Apple OSes native certificate store. There needs to be code 
added for this. We can add that code in the backend code in curl, but someone 
needs to do it.

wolfSSL is a TLS library that already has this support built-in [1].
