Hi Monks,

In my current project, I have to interact with a https site. They have provided digital certificate in both ‘.pfx’ and ‘.pem’ format. I tried to connect using ‘Crypt::SSLeay’ module and getting the following response.


500 Connect failed: connect: Connection refused Connection refused


I tested with setting both HTTPS_CERT_FILE and HTTPS_PKCS12_FILE environment variables. The following is the code used for testing the same. 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use LWP;
use Data::Dumper;

$ENV{HTTPS_CERT_FILE} = '/tmp/34556_cert.pem';

# $ENV{HTTPS_PKCS12_FILE} = '/tmp/34556_pkcs.pfx';
# $ENV{HTTPS_PKCS12_PASSWORD} = '34556';

my $url = 'https://sitename.com’;   # Yes, HTTPS!


my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response = $browser->get($url);
die "Error at $url\n ", $response->status_line, "\n Aborting"
unless $response->is_success;
print "Whee, it worked!  I got that ",
$response->content_type, " document!\n";

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
