curl is WebID aware. You just need to get yourself a certificate for your crawler, and then use -E/--cert <certificate[:password]> arguments to pass that certificate if the server requests it. The specs for HTTPS client certs are so old and well established that it is built by default into most libraries. So it would not take a lot to expose it, if it is not already in all the libs you mention. But thanks for this new FAQ [1]. We'll try to fill in the details on how to work with the libs above using webid. There is a Javascript layer for https too, but what is the point of doing that there? Let the browser do the https for you. Henry [1] http://www.w3.org/wiki/Foaf%2Bssl/FAQ Social Web Architect http://bblfish.net/
