HTTPS over SSL for the product HP-UX

PK_1975 — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:00:29 GMT

Hi

Can anyone help in
HP-UX, that connects to an HTTPS site through SSL

Use a Web browser or wget?

Do you want an HTTPS client or an HTTPS
server on HP-UX?

What, exactly, are you trying to do?

If you want to replace FTP with something
more secure, you might look at SFTP or SCP.

man ssh
man sftp
man scp

> so we want to use web-browser.

Really? That sounds harder than using SFTP.

If you really want to use HTTPS, the details
would depend on the answer to this old
question:

> Do you want an HTTPS client or an HTTPS
> server on HP-UX?

But I'd expect SFTP (or SCP) to be easier to
adopt.

The default installations of HP-UX have contained a version of Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox web browser since HP-UX 10.20. Look into /opt/netscape, /opt/mozilla and/or /opt/firefox as appropriate.

If you don't have it installed, see:
http://www.hp.com/go/firefox

Of course running a GUI-based browser requires that you have X Window System working.

If you are planning to create a script to automate the downloading of some files, a command-line tool like wget would be a much simpler solution.

Wget is available from the Porting Archive:
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/wget-1.11.1/

Note that to make it work, you must install the packages listed as Run-Time Dependencies first.

Thanks for ur information.

I need some more information with OpenSSL, because we already installed on our HP-UX systems it appears, and might be able to do the command line retrieves and transmits.

Check out cURL at software.hp.com

This will allow ftp over ssl ( a.k.a ftps )programatically.

As you said this will allow ftp over ssl
but we need https over ssl

OpenSSL is a low-level SSL toolkit and is not intended to be used directly for making HTTPS client connections. You should use wget, curl, or one of the other utilities that was designed for that. Many (most?) of those tools will rely on OpenSSL's libraries for their SSL capabilities, but the OpenSSL command-line tool is really only used directly for managing keys/certificates and connection troubleshooting.

When i checked cURL in software.hp.com, i have seen 3 option.

HP-UX Internet Express for HP-UX 11i v1
HP-UX Internet Express for HP-UX 11i v2
HPUX Internet Express for HP-UX 11i v3

My version of the OpenSSL is 0.9.7d

So suggest me which one can i use

Re: HTTPS over SSL for the product HP-UX

Tim Nelson — Mon, 12 May 2008 17:49:09 GMT

Hi

We installed cURL, could u give me advise how to use curl to retrieve and push data to the remote https site?

> [...] push data to the remote https site?

HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, or
Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL, if you
prefer), like HTTP, involves a client program
(like a Web browser or wget or cURL) sending
requests to an HTTPS server (like Apache),
which then acts upon that request. Unlike
FTP (or SFTP), it was not intended as a
general file transfer protocol. Fetching a
file is pretty easy, but sending one requires
some cooperation from the HTTPS server.

Even with FTP, most servers are more willing
to send a file than to accept one. With
HTTP[S], it's even harder.

> What, exactly, are you trying to do?

Still waiting for a clear answer to that one.
Hint: It's often more productive to list your
actual requirements ("I need to send files
securely from system X to system Y.") than it
is to ask how to implement some arbitrary
(sub-ideal) implementation of some arbitrary
(sub-ideal) solution ("HTTPS").
