Hey all,
I'm using a perl script to access a secure webpage from within a firewall
on an NT box. Everything was working fine until y2k hit, my script began
to error out on Jan 1. The error message indicates that the proxy server
has a problem with the sending sites certificate expiration. I know we
are using a Netscape proxy server ( or at least the error message references
Netscape) and I know there are problems with some version of Netscape and
certificate expiration dates beyond 12/31/99.
The odd thing is that if I access the same secure webpage through the
same proxy server using Netscape on the NT box everything works fine
and I don't get any errors.
I reinstalled perl from scratch using the latest Activestate release(522),
reinstalled Crypt::SSLeay and am using OpenSSL 0.9.4
I sent mail to the proxy maintainer to check on the version there since
the y2k testing for the proxy server did not test https but haven't
heard back yet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tony
