Cocoa Network + SSL

Okay, I've hit a problem. I have an application which needs to be able to have a stream (SSL encrypted or non). I originally was using the NetSockets class, but ran into trouble trying to integrate SSL functionality, particularly because of the differing versions of OpenSSL between different versions of OS X.

So I rewrote the entire thing to use NSStream, which seems a bit slower than using a CFSocket wrapper, but gave me optional SSL functionality. So, that was good. BUT, it would reject self-signed certificates. So, I went to add that... and discovered that the bit which toggles 'accept self-signed root certificates' is only available in Tiger, while this app needs to run under Panther as well.

I'm finding myself at a bit of a loss now. Is there any Objective-C socket class out there which will do SSL, allowing for self-signed certificates, and work under both Panther and Tiger? Googling has turned up nothing, but I cannot believe I'm the only person out there who's ever had this problem! I'd prefer not to reinvent the wheel and have to rewrite my own wrapper class! Help? :)
