Question ID: 448380
I am trying to access a web site via Perl LWP.  Problem is the site
has it's own certificate and I have a root.cer and a cert.pfx file I
need to use to access it.

I need to know how to do this via LWP or some other functional CPAN
library (or other method available on my server, such as lynx (Lynx
Version 2.8.4rel.1 (17 Jul 2001; libwww-FM 2.14, SSL-MM 1.4.1, OpenSSL
0.9.6b; Built on linux-gnu Jan 22 2003 13:17:01).

The server is running Redhat ES 1.3 (IIRC)

I need a working code sample that I can use to connect to the site.

Thanks!

 - Brian

I can't test it, but it seems man Crypt::SSLeay has some information
on using PKCS12 certificates with LWP. Looks like it's done through
setting HTTPS_PKCS12_FILE environment variable. Sorry I can't provide
more details or test it myself.
