Hi,

OK! It is a less sophisticated authorization scheme than the one I though of. LWP will not provide you with the appropriate feature.

Schematically you authenticate against the openssh daemon and query the web-server afterwards. Meaning the web server shells out to the openssh daemon, captures its return code and authorizes you or not. The implementation details for Apache is here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_howto.html#accesscontrol

Net::SSSLeay offers a solution to your problem. Solution descrption at http://search.cpan.org/~mikem/Net-SSLeay-1.54/lib/Net/SSLeay.pod. Search for =>Using client certificates<= in the page.

Test:Try to open an ssh session against port 443 or 80. If you get a prompt, enter GET+Return. If you see HTML on the console, you can use the module above. Do not worry if the ssh session disconnects.
