Hi.
I'm trying to get off the ground with two Perl modules that are new to me -
Net::SSLeay or Crypt::SSLeay.
My question really applies to either module since they need similar arguments.
As an example my for question, this snippet is from the Net::SSLeay doc:
($page, $response, %reply_headers)
= post_https('www.bacus.pt', 443, '/foo.cgi', # 3b
make_headers('Authorization' =>
'Basic ' . MIME::Base64::encode("$user:$pass")),
make_form(OK => '1', name => 'Sampo'),
$mime_type6, $path_to_crt7, $path_to_key8);
The 3 args $mime_type6, $path_to_crt7 and $path_to_key8 have me confused.
Question #1: I can export my certificate from IE or Netscape and get it in what
I think is a PKCS12 format. I can then use this openssl command to get myself
a PEM file:
openssl pkcs12 -in my.pfx -out my.pem
But apparently I need two files $path_to_crt7 and $path_to_key8. By their
names I can see they are some sort of certificate and key files. Could I get a
little more info about what those two files are? And does anyone know the
openssl command to generate them from a PKCS12 file? Or do I need to run the
openssl command twice with two different output filenames?
Question #2: What should the value for mime_type6 be?
Thanks for your help,
John
