Paul,
I am not sure, but did you create certificates for the Apache server on installation ?

I think I've finally got Crypt::SSLeay installed ok (many thanks for your
help, Joshua!), but there's still something missing...
I've had a look through the libwww egroups archive and seen a few ppl
asking for examples using https with LWP - if anyone knows of any, I'd be
very intersted.
So far, I've taken my old http script (source at
http://boldra.com/source/hammer.pl.txt ) and just tried requesting some
https pages with it. When all I got back was "Server error 500", I tried
it on a local https server, and looked at the server log
(attached). Apache seems to think that the LWP Agent isn't sending a
client certificate.
I had hoped that all the certificate exchanging and saving was going to go
on invisibly somewhere, and that doing an https request was going to be
a straightforward as doing http, but I'm starting to get the feeling this
isn't the case... Do I have to explicitly tell LWP where to find its
public key, and that it needs to send it? How? Or can anyone suggest any
other reason for these errors? Perhaps there is a nice overview on the
differences between http and https somewhere I should read? (hopefully a
bit more introductory than rfc1798)
Apache is running on the same box as my client, so OpenSSL certainly seems
to be working (netscape fetches the page OK).
Thanks
Boldra
