Support for client certificates #26

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
POSTER should be able to submit/send client certificates if any certificate
is installed in Firefox for the site, to which we sending a request using
POSTER.

Are you installing certificates via preferences?  Poster uses the xpcom version 
of
 xmlhttprequest and so doesn't have access to much beyond what you can do via that
Interface.  There are a few more feature when you run inside an extension
but I don't know about certificate support.

I am installing PKCS#12 certificate using Firefox -> Edit -> Preferences menu. 
Site
to which I am sending request using POSTER requires a client certificate and 
when I
send the request from Firefox, it works because Firefox will send the cert.

Interesting.  This feels like a bug in Firefox as that kind thing should be 
handled automatically.  Where exactly 
are you adding the certificate?

This is probably not working because Poster exists outside the site.  As such, 
it correctly doesn't sent the 
certificate.  I'm not sure what to do about this right now.

Just like in Fiddler, why don;t we put the client certificates somewhere on 
local disk 
and use them when sending request from POSTER?

What is Fiddler?  I'm not sure how to configure an XMLHttpRequest object to use 
a local certificate and any 
example is welcome.

This is probably a new feature rather than a defect.

Take a look at the tool http://www.fiddlertool.com/

This is also a HTTP request monitor kind of app, supports sending requests just 
like as 
in POSTER.

For what it's worth, we use poster with client certs with no problem across all 
platforms.
This is Firefox 16.0.2 and Poster 3.2, but I've not had a problem with this in 
2-3 years.
