I need to move a floppy disk image up to a device, via SSL. The device expects a nice XML wrapper around the bytes of the disk image.
I have SSL working, and I can do XML conversations quite well. What I can't seem to do (and I apologize in advance for my limited Perl knowledge) is push that floppy image onto the SSL pipe with success. I know the opening exchange is working, and I know the closing exchange is working, but I don't think the right bytes, or number of bytes of that image file are going across, although a network capture shows that ABOUT the right number of bytes are sent over the wire. So, the question is, how do I best read in a binary file and plop its bytes right there between those two XML chunks? Here is the type of work I have put together: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use Socket; use Net::SSLeay qw(die_now die_if_ssl_error) ; Net::SSLeay::load_error_strings(); Net::SSLeay::SSLeay_add_ssl_algorithms(); Net::SSLeay::randomize(); $CRLF = "\x0d\x0a"; ($dest_serv, $port) = @ARGV; # Read command line $port = getservbyname ($port, 'tcp') unless $port =~ /^\d+$/; $dest_ip = gethostbyname ($dest_serv); $dest_serv_params = sockaddr_in($port, $dest_ip); socket (S, &AF_INET, &SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die "socket: $!"; connect (S, $dest_serv_params) or die "connect: $!"; select (S); $| = 1; select (STDOUT); # Eliminate STDIO buffering $ctx = Net::SSLeay::CTX_new() or die_now("Failed to create SSL_CTX $!"); Net::SSLeay::CTX_set_options($ctx, &Net::SSLeay::OP_ALL) and die_if_ssl_error("ssl ctx set options"); $ssl = Net::SSLeay::new($ctx) or die_now("Failed to create SSL $!"); Net::SSLeay::set_fd($ssl, fileno(S)); # Must use fileno $res = Net::SSLeay::connect($ssl) and die_if_ssl_error("ssl connect"); print "Cipher `" . Net::SSLeay::get_cipher($ssl) .
