I wonder if what you are seeing is not your error, but the server's error. The server might be expecting a certificate from the client. That would be reasonable in a situation like yours where you are using post. However, I don't think Revolution can supply a certificate to a server, yet. I don't know how to specify it if the ability is there. That is, maybe the server wants to know you are who you say you are, too.

That is, it looks like a problem in the local lookup, but "local" to whom?

Maybe you can sneak up on this. Try getting a simple https page from a popular server. Then try getting a page from the server in question. If that fails, try it with a web browser; maybe the sever has a bad cert. Try a post with some other tool. Maybe then you have learned what you need to do the post.

I hope you get this solved before RevCon. I can then pass all the hard SSL questions on to you!

Dar,

I begun to wonder the same thing also, but I discovered that it's not a server error message it is actually a openssl error message, trying to connect to the secure server using openssl command line tool yelded the following response (quoted from a much bigger output):

---
No client certificate CA names sent
---
SSL handshake has read 2202 bytes and written 340 bytes

the server connects and I am able to use HTTP commands to it, it appears that while the openssl commandline tool don't think that this error is a show stopper, Rev in the other hand will refuse to go forward. I checked bugzilla and saw that there was a thread that apparently asked for this behaviour saying that if the cert cannot be verified, rev should stop. I'd like to go like the open secure socket command where I can simply choose to ignore verification.

it will be a long night trying to solve this...

thanks
andre
