how to access an https web service from within Cocoon?
Hello,
We have a Cocoon application that has been accessing a web service to
get some data.
It uses your basic
<map:generate src="http://remotehost/blah/blah" />
It's all worked fine in development, but now in QA and production, the
web service will be accessible only via https through a reverse-proxy
server.
So when Cocoon tries to connect to the web service, it has to accept the
certificate, and it also has to submit authentication information to a
login page (the first time). Is Cocoon able to do that?
How do we make Cocoon accept the certificate?
And how to submit authentication information to a login page that will
appear only the first time: Do we have to use flowscript?
Thanks,
Lars

Lars,
If the web service uses basic authentication you can embed the user name
and password in the URL, for example:
<map:generate src="https://username:password@remotehost/blah/blah" />
Cheers,
Antony

Thank you for the hints...
How do I tell Cocoon where the generated keys are, so that Cocoon knows
to send them?

Take a look in the man pages of SSH.
There's a part on those keys in it. When the key is found already, it
does not ask anything.
You can generate those keys yourself and store them before Cocoon gets
to the site.
