Yes, Sort of, Maybe.
I'm implementing all of the equivalnent ns_sock* Tcl commands in nsopenssl,
include a C API. As of this moment I can make outgoing SSL connections and
fetch pages. I've implemented ns_httpsget and ns_httpsopen by copying and
modifying http.tcl to https.tcl. I've implemented Ns_FetchURL and
ns_geturl. ns_socklisten, is (mostly) working right now.
As far as I know this is the first real capability to do SSL from within
AOLserver; other methods rely on CGI but will work to fetch pages.
Here's an example Tcl script that fetches a page:
set fds [ns_openssl_sockopen 192.168.0.2 8001]
set rid [lindex $fds 0]
set wid [lindex $fds 1]
puts $wid "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"
flush $wid
while {[set line [string trim [gets $rid]]] != ""} {
lappend headers $line
}
set page [read $rid]
close $rid
close $wid
ns_log notice "PAGE=$page"
Here's another:
set hlist [ns_httpsopen GET "https://192.168.0.2:8001";]
set rid [lindex $hlist 0]
set wid [lindex $hlist 1]
set setid [lindex $hlist 2]
ns_log notice "RID=$rid WID=$wid SETID=$setid"
set page [read $rid]
close $rid
close $wid
ns_log notice "PAGE=$page"
And another:
set page [ns_httpsget "https://192.168.0.2:8001";]
ns_log notice "PAGE=$page"
The software is in beta right now. Expected release is as soon after next
weekend as possible.
