RestClient failing to GET resource using SSL client certificate

ruby-talk
1

Hi All,

I'm trying to use RestClient to retrieve a page that's secured using an
SSL client certificate. My code is as follows:

  require 'restclient'

  p12 = OpenSSL::PKCS12.new(File.read('client.p12'), 'password')
  client = RestClient::Resource.new('https://example.com/',
            :ssl_client_key => p12.key,
            :verify_ssl => OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE)
  client.get

When I run it, I see the following failure:

  1.9.3-p374 :007 > client.get
  RestClient::BadRequest: 400 Bad Request

I'm fairly sure this is a failure to authenticate, as I get the same
error in a browser if I don't install the client certificate.

I'm using `OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE` because the server has a
self-signed certificate, and I believe this is the correct value to pass
to ignore that.

Any suggestions on how to get this working would be greatly appreciated
- even a pointer to some detailed documentation, or a suggestion of a
different Gem could work. I've not had much luck with either the Gem
docs or Google :frowning:

TIA for any advice ...

Yours,
Duncan Bayne

Also having issues with SSL through Ruby net libraries. I can suggest
logging the RestClient activity, which has been helpful to me at least.

I use: RestClient.log = STDERR

as explained here: https://github.com/rest-client/rest-client#logging
