i did a google search in the last hour but couldn't fine a answer to
my problem. so i am posting it here:
i want to access a https-site via perl script
i am using perl 5.8.1, lwp (libwww-5.79), crypt-ssleay (0.51), openssl
(0.9.7d)
sofar connect is no problem. i can connect, get pages, headers etc.
i also think, that the communication is secure through ssl-encryption.
but: how can i be sure, that i am really talking to the site, no man
in the middle, dns-spoofing etc?
in the http-header i can see "client-ssl-cert-subject",
"client-ssl-cert-issuer" as strings. but how i can i be sure, that a)
i am talking to the correct server b) the client is still valid?
thanxs
