Thanks for your response - sorry the question was confusing. I would
prefer not to use a browser to connect to a SSL server at regular
intervals. I don't know exactly what are the series of messages the
browser is sending to the remote SSL server. I would like to record
exactly what the browser is sending, so I can duplicate the connections
from command-line tools like Curl, etc. Sniffers don't work, since the
connections are encrypted.
I'll install mod_proxy and use it as a gateway proxy, as you suggested.
If there's a better way to accomplish the recording task, please let me
know. I've spent quite a bit of time trying to automate the connections
from command-line scripts. The remote SSL server does not require
client authentication. I've configured mod_ssl SLLogLevel to debug -
very helpfull. The s_client tool distributed with openssl is usefull as
well (from your FAQ).
Appreciate the help.
