[Http-webtest-general] Support for SSL / documentation bug

From: William M. <wi...@kn...> - 2002-10-11 20:51:42

Hi Ilya,

I'm trying to test a form on an SSL server. However, I'm getting error 
messages which are probably due to missing ssl support in LWP. I went to 
do a search on the mail archives and surprisingly didn't find any 
discussion about ssl in there. I'm off to read up on LWP next but thought 
I'd toss this out for discussion.

Also, while looking for the link to the mailing list archives, I 
discovered that the link to the list page on SourceForge contains an 
ending period which causes the link to fail. See the Support section of 
the HTTP::Webtest POD.

Thanks,
William

Hmm. It is going to become a FAQ. Strange it is not in the
archives. Probably I should just explain SSL support in HTTP::WebTest
documentation.

Anyway it is documented in README.SSL which you can find in libwww
distro:

    http://search.cpan.org/src/GAAS/libwww-perl-5.65/README.SSL

Thanks. I'll add a space there to prevent it.

That would be helpful; I checked both the cookbook and the main pod for 
references. Is there a separate FAQ document for WebTest? 

BTW, my search for ssl in the SourceForge archives turned up no responses. 
Simply installing Crypt::SSLeay, as explained in the README.SSL file you 
mentioned, did the job!

Thanks,
William

No. There is no FAQ document. So far this is the only question that is
really frequently asked.

I've added notes about SSL support in INSTALL file and in
HTTP::WebTest POD.
