TLS Enabled HTTP Client using libuv

[Boris Feinstein]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a library to allow performing HTTP requests using libuv with TLS support.

Not an HTTP server, only an HTTP client.

Is anyone familiar with such projects?

Thanks in advance,

Boris

Well, I didn't find any one for server or client. By the way, what you want is 2 parts:

 

 1. After creating the connection, create the request.

 2. Create a tls engine that is performing in memory, for example a MEM_BIO in openssl

And then perform the transportation.

Creating the request is easy, http is a textual protocol. For tls side, read openssl ssl docs with memory BIO.

Hi 

I think I do have a POC that you can use https://github.com/deleisha/evt-tls

Hi:

I have used OpenSSL for that kind of functionality successfully. Howerver,  be aware   that it does have idiosyncracies

and you must decide on  SSL Certficate Authority arrangements to select the correct API calls.  The verision I use

is 1.1.1e which is certainly not the latest one. Also, you need to have your Certificate creation arrangments in

order before you can use OpenSsl. The postiive side to this is that OpenSSL has an array of tools to simplify

this task. However, you must be willing to carefully read the documentation.

The following links provide relevant information.

        https://www.shellhacks.com/openssl-check-private-key-matches-ssl-certificate-csr/

A lot of the documentation is accessible as Linux man  pages.  I can send you a

copy of some model code if you would like.

Best Regards,
