how to get https pages with ActiveState build 806

I'm running ActiveState perl build 806 on Win98.
I want to GET an https page.
So far I did this, which I found in another thread thanks to Google:

c:> ppm
ppm> rep add winnipeg
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin...n:/PPMServer58
ppm> install Crypt-SSLeay

This downloaded 2 DLLs, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll, and put them in my
path. BUT that's all. How do I install the "rest" of the Crypt::SSLeay
distribution? Where do I get the "loadable object for module
Crypt::SSLeay"? Running GET "https://www.paypal.com" gives me the dreaded
"501 Protocol scheme 'https' is not supported" error. LWP still thinks
Crypt::SSLeay is not installed!?!

I've built this on NT4 SP6 and XP SP1a but NOT 98.

pre-requsites:
Active State perl v5.8.0 binary build 806
MS Visual Studio 6

build from sources:
OpenSSL http://www.openssl.org/
version: NT4 0.9.6g / XP 0.9.7b
Net::SSLeay http://www.symlabs.com/Net_SSLeay/
Version: NT 1.20 / XP 1.21
IO::Socket::SSL from CPAN
Version: NT4 0.80 / XP 0.94

I tried all the freeware compilers first, but no success. Hence, VC6.
There are many versions of OpenSSL, Net-SSLeay and IO-Socket-SSL
available. After much trial and error, the above combinations worked.

Build and installation instructions come with each package, usually a
readme.win32 file. There are also pointers to various help resources
for win32 installations.

Good luck.

THANK YOU Geraldo! I got it working! Here's what I used:

* Windows 98
* ActivePerl build 806
* MSVC [Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 12.00.8168
for 80x86]
* openssl 0.9.6g [build according to INSTALL.W32]
* Net::SSLeay 1.20 [failed various local server tests, but web tests
succeed]
* IO::Socket::SSL 0.80

The python libraries like urllib and httplib do not support ssl through a proxy. Urllib2 supports http through a proxy or https alone, but not https through a proxy. A while ago my wife complained to me that perl had trouble w/https. I was surprised since perl has a lot of networking libraries. Preferring python, I took a look a python and found the same problem. Eventually I figured out what python was missing: tunnelling. Though she...

Hi all. Some time ago (years) I had a script on Python 2.2 that would retieve a HTTPS web site. I used python22-win32-ssl.zip to handle the SSL aspect and it worked wonderfully. I am revisiting the project and need to update it to Python 2.4.1. python22-win32-ssl.zip isn't compatable (duh) and I can't find a newer version. I have had a search and can't find anything to point me in the right direction. Can someone please help?

Hi All I've noticed on quite a few ASP sites that when they have a 'MyAccount' section they transfer the site to https and then when you have logged into your account successfully and gone back to the majority of the site you move back to http whilst still being logged in.

I'm experiencing an interesting problem with carrying a php session over from http to https. Much googling later, I'm still stuck. The application is an online shop, where some user data is stored in the session. As the user proceeds to checkout, we switch over to https. This is all done on the same physical server, under the same domain (which has an SSL cert). The session ID is carried over fine - I can read the session ID from http...

Something went wrong with my last post. So, again: I have a strange problem. I wrote a script that uses urllib.urlopen to fetch a page through https. In Python 2.2.2 this works without a problem.
