How to connect to an ELOG server running behind apache+ssl using the elog command line program? |
|
|
Hi,
I need to post a large number of "old" messages to one of my logbooks and I am trying to modify the script doelog (see http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Contributions/10) to suit my needs. I am using apache + ssl for secure logins to my ELOG server. The doelog script uses the elog utility program, which is useful for posting ELOG messages from scripts or from the command line. My problem is that I cannot talk to my ELOG server with elog.
Here is what happens:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ elog -v -h my.server.org -p 443 -l mylogbook -a Category=Other-u myusername mypasswd testmsg
Successfully connected to host my.server.org, port 443
Request sent to host:
POST /mylogbook/ HTTP/1.0

Host: my.host.org
User-Agent: ELOG
Content-Length: 811

Access to the logbook works perfectly if I use a web browser. If I can find out how to use the elog command line program to connect to my ELOG server running behind apache+ssl, I think I can change the doelog script to suit my needs. Any help is appreciated.
