RE: Client Authentication as a Client, is it even possible?

Brad,
I did mention in a recent dialogue (while going on a bit) that writing such an 
app in RPGLE using the SSL socket APIs was exactly what I had achieved once I 
assigned the client certificate (via DCM) required by the remote host to the 
SSL app. 

Indeed I also showed, as Scott is keen to suggest, that simply by downloading 
his ready-made code, which is also in RPGLE (but using the IBM Global Security 
Kit) then that also worked once the same appropriate client cert was assigned. 
While some of us, perhaps yourself included, have always liked to be able to 
roll-our-own, I recommend there is great merit in what Scott has also achieved.

Peter

HTTP.

The problem is I'm using my GETURI application and it's
worked fine in hundreds of other scenarios.  But, in this
one case where client auth is needed during the SSL
handshake, it's not working.

Also in talking with IBM support they said they personally
didn't have a client app until v5r2 that did this (FTP) so
I assume that possible this functionality hasn't been
tested.
