Hi,

I found a blog entry about using SSL with HTTP-access2.

http://ghouston.blogspot.com/2006/03/using-ssl-with-ruby-http-access2.html

I tried this out on my Mac. I dont have IE so I used opera to export the key. It looks like it gave me a binary file. I wrote a bin_to_base64.rb script to transform the file:

#! /usr/bin/env ruby

require “base64”

binfile = ‘/pt/w/browser_certificates/equifax_secure_certificate_authority.bin’ b64file = ‘/pt/w/browser_certificates/equifax_secure_certificate_authority.cer’

fhr = File.open binfile, “r”

bin_s = “”

fhr.each {|l| bin_s << l} fhr.close

b64_s = Base64.encode64 bin_s

fhw = File.open b64file, “w”

fhw.write b64_s fhw.close

It gave me this:

I then tried it out.

I got this exception:

OpenSSL::X509::StoreError (): /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/powerpc/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/http-access2.rb:532:in add_file' /Applications/Locomotive2/Bundles/standardRailsSept2006.locobundle/powerpc/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/http- access2.rb:532:in set_trust_ca’ /app/controllers/loginyahoo_controller.rb:7:in `index’

I’m not sure what to do next.

Are any of you people out there using http-access2 to talk to https servers??
