HTTPS connection unix
Hi,

I have a situation....where I have to make a HTTPS:// connection to the third party web site to grab 5 files from their server.
I am little new to unix.

Can anyone please help me creating the shell script for making this connection and grabing or reading the files from their server to our server.

I will really appreciate any help in this regards.

Thanks
Raj

You'll need a console client that supports SSL.

Debian for example has the 'lynx-ssl' package.

Check if your distro has an SSL-enabled lynx package, the use something like:


lynx --source https://www.domain.com/sslfile.html > sslfile.html

This will fetch https://www.domain.com/sslfile.html and save it as sslfile.html.


Also check the man pages for wget and curl.

You need to install SSL. You can get it at:

http://www.openssl.org/

Then take a look at:

http://dominia.org/djao/wget_ssl.html

Hope this helps.
