Re: Perl's Net:Kubernetes question

Can't connect to myK8Scluster:8443

The Net-Kubenetes documentation states that those SSL options "are basically just a passthrough to the underlying LWP::UserAgent used to handle the api requests".
And the LWP::UserAgent documentation says "the libwww-perl core no longer bundles protocol plugins for SSL. You will need to install LWP::Protocol::https separately to enable support for processing https-URLs".

So I would first install LWP::Protocol::https if it's not already, and see if that helps.
The LWP::UserAgent documentation makes reference to IO::Socket::SSL and Net::SSL modules, so I'm thinking you might also need at least one of those two installed.

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob, thanks for the pointers. I checked and my Perl install already has LWP::UserAgent, LWP::Protocol::https, and IO::Socket::SSL installed. The only missing one is Net::SSL. Are both IO::Socket::SSL AND Net::SSL required, or having one installed is sufficient?	[reply]

If you just want to confirm that your LWP::UserAgent can make an https connection try this from your shell: `HEAD https://www.google.com/` [download] If the first line returned is `200 OK` then you are good to go.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Careful with this on OS X because of the default filesystem case insensitivity the LWP's `HEAD` is indistinguishable from the normal *NIX `/usr/bin/head`; you can use `lwp-request -m HEAD https://www.google.com/` there instead to get the right thing.

Hi hippo, yep, the test connection to google is good. So, looks like the issue is not because of LWP dependencies but something with Net::Kubernetes usage. Its doc. doesn't specifically say I can specify the string with full path and file name to the SSL keys, so I'm not sure if my code's call looks correct??	[reply]
