Hi

We have a network traffic logger module at office.
We need to a tool which creates simple traffic with different protocols and test our product's output to see if we parse the headers correctly or not.

And of course I proposed writing this tool with D!!!

When it comes to create a HTTP session it is very easy

auto content = get("dlang.org");

But I couldn't find any examples about https. Do I have to use a C library like libcurl for it. Or is there a native way do solve my problem.

Regards
Erdem

No, you can keep using std.net.curl.

You just need to tell curl how to verify server certificates.

On Windows, if you are using the curl library included with DMD 2.066.1, curl will use the Windows certificate store. Otherwise, you need to provide a trusted CA bundle:

auto http = HTTP();
http.handle.set(CurlOption.cainfo, "path/to/ca-bundle.crt");

Or, to completely disable verification:

http.handle.set(CurlOption.ssl_verifypeer, false);

Then:

get("https://dlang.org", http);

> get("https://dlang.org", http);

It works as I wanted, thanks a lot .

Did this changed? I use 2.068.0 and still have problems with SSL.

Sorry for necroposting.
