Hi.  The examples should be compiled when you built GnuTLS, but you'll
have to read the code to understand have to use them.  For example,
ex-client-srp.c uses a CA certificate in the file "ca.pem" and the
server needs "ca.pem", and also key/cert in "key.pem" and "cert.pem",
and also the SRP password files "tpasswd" and "tpasswd.conf".

Create the appropriate files as above, then modify the part of the
code that sends/receives messages.

Looking at ex-client-srp.c, the client always begin by sending a HTTP
request, then reads the reply and disconnects.  The server reads data
and sends the same data back, indefinitely.

It thus appears as if the examples are quite close to what you need.
Just change the calls to send the data you want in the client, and to
do something useful with data on the server side.
