A little googling suggests that ssh-keygen can be used to produce ssl-compatible keys, but I am not an encryption expert to give you the blow-by-blow instructions. I believe the file formats are different by default, and may be stored in different directories by default.
To test whether our Unicon sources found libssl libraries OK and were configured to be https:// ready you would check src/h/auto.h to see if a #define HAVE_LIBSSL 1 is uncommented. The code then expects either: * an SSL_CERT_FILE or SSL_CERT_DIR environment variable, or * an openssl command on the path, along with grep in order to figure out where to find SSL encryption keys. More setup than I would like to accept in a finished Unicon feature. ________________________________ From: Sergey Logichev <slogic...@yandex.ru> Sent: Tuesday, August 2, 2016 11:26:54 PM To: Jeffery, Clint (jeffe...@uidaho.edu); Jafar Al-Gharaibeh; Unicon group Subject: Re: [Unicon-group] HTTPS and FTP protocols Clint, If I properly understand you the https (ssl) support is already embedded by default? I prefer to build Unicon myself so to add some libraries or definitions is not a problem too. As for ssl keys - is it possible to generate their with help of ssh-keygen, for example? I use git portable client on my Windows computer. SSL key by default shall be just placed to user's home directory. Could you clarify this? I would like to check https:// with Unicon. Sergey 03.08.2016, 09:14, "Jeffery, Clint (jeffe...@uidaho.edu)" <jeffe...@uidaho.edu>: http has been in the messaging facilities since 2001 or earlier. It is straightforward. The code was by Steve Lumos and we have improved it a bit since then. https preliminary support works, but is not yet mature. I have not adequately documented or publicized it, because I am not satisfied with the usability yet. You could say that I consider it not finished. Here are a couple of the issues. https depends on a particular API provided by a C library, libssl. If you have libssl headers and libraries, https may be built into your Unicon. I am not sure how universal libssl is. If Jafar says Windows and Mac builds HAVE_SSL, maybe it meets a minimal portability standard to be a general Unicon feature. We should add a feature for SSL to &features. &features is getting too long, by the way, and checking for a feature needs to be re-architected. https uses encryption keys which are not yet very well packaged/abstracted in Unicon binary distributions. If you do have Unicon binaries with https, there may yet be some setup required for it to work. Like for example, Unicon will want to know where your suite of encryption keys is. So far, the code probably works on 1-2 operating systems with 1-2 popular web browsers' keys. It needs to be made more portable. cheers, Clint ________________________________ From: Jafar Al-Gharaibeh <to.ja...@gmail.com<mailto:to.ja...@gmail.com>> Sent: Tuesday, August 2, 2016 9:57:07 PM To: Sergey Logichev; Unicon group Subject: Re: [Unicon-group] HTTPS and FTP protocols Not too long ago, Clint added preliminary support for SSL, which should pave the way for https. Not sure how far along he got it or if he managed to get https to work in Unicon. As to why we don't have https, ftp or several other protocols for that matter, the answer is the scarcity of contributors. The Unicon Project is underfunded and understaffed. We want more people to get involved in the development :-) Cheers, Jafar On Tue, Aug 2, 2016 at 11:36 PM Sergey Logichev <slogic...@yandex.ru<mailto:slogic...@yandex.ru>> wrote: Yes, I mean exactly https:// and ftp:// 03.08.2016, 07:28, "Jafar Al-Gharaibeh" <to.ja...@gmail.com<mailto:to.ja...@gmail.com>>: Do you mean HTTPS?
