Re: convert C# to perl script

[Corion]

Hello Metilda!

What are your problems with converting the C# code to Perl? Are you looking for the right modules to use? Are you looking for a general approach of converting C# to Perl?

What Perl code have you already written for this problem and how does it fail to do what you need?

Hi, I have installed REST::Client and Crypt::X509 modules.

my $url = "https://my rest services url";
my $jsonBody = '{ json details }';
my $client = REST::Client->new();
$client->addHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
$client->addHeader('charset', 'UTF-8');
$client->addHeader('Accept', 'application/json');
$client->addHeader('Authorization', 'Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx');
$client->PUT($url, $jsonBody);

The above script is working fine without using ssl certificate. Now i want to include ssl certificate. I have my pfx file and want to create certificate object using X509Certificate. Need your help to convert that C# code to perl.

I have my pfx file and want to create certificate

You could do this separately using a CLI utility such as openssl but if you want to do that inside perl, take a look at Crypt::OpenSSL::PKCS12 which shows in the synopsis how to achieve this.

Looking through the documentation for Rest::Client, I find these two lines:

#X509 client authentication
$client->setCert('/path/to/ssl.crt');
$client->setKey('/path/to/ssl.key');

Have you tried adding your certificate and key file that way? How does it fail?
