https with ruby

[Damjan Rems]

This task has come to my desk last hour and I wonder if it could be done
with ruby:

I would need to send XML file to some url with "HTTP POST request".

That shouldn't be a problem (mechanize comes to mind). Problem is that
url is https:// and certificate should be exchanged during session
start. In browser, browser assures that certificate is exchanged. How do
I do this from ruby program?

I don't know yet, but I guess xml file should be encrypted too.

So can this be accomplished with ruby.

Thank you

There's a package for https, on top of Net::HTTP, look for Net::HTTPS,
