I am working with REST::Client
and my code fails with SSL error.
Here is the code:
#!usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use REST::Client;
my $client = REST::Client->new();
$client->GET("https://something/api/sessions");
print $client->responseContent();
and here is the output:
WP::Protocol::https::Socket: SSL connect attempt failed with unknown error error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.1/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 51.
I know the problem. REST::Client
is not able to ignore the SSL certificate.
I get the exact same error with curl
when I do not use "-k" option:
here is curl command:
curl -i -H "Accept:application/*+xml;version=1.5" -u "username@system:password" -X post https://something/api/sessions
and here is curl output(Error):
curl: (60) SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed
However, if I add "-k" to the curl command, then it works just fine.
From curl's man page, here is the explanation of "-k":
(SSL) This option explicitly allows curl to perform "insecure" SSL connections and transfers.
Question:
So, How do I make REST::Client
ignore the SSL certificate? OR is there any other elegant way to work with? I gone through the REST::Client
documentation on CPAN but it does not talk anything about this.
Thanks.
I got it working by adding below line:
$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME}=0;
Reference: https://splash.riverbed.com/docs/DOC-1602
I found that option did not completely address the issue in LWP 6.x. For me this worked:
# setup rest client
my $client = REST::Client->new();
# don't verify SSL certs
$client->getUseragent()->ssl_opts(verify_hostname => 0);
$client->getUseragent()->ssl_opts(SSL_verify_mode => SSL_VERIFY_NONE);
