Hi,

I must be missing something, as I try with little success to download data
from a HTTPS website where access is controlled with certificates.

I do this is a test setup, every thing is run under my control (even the
CA)

Server: Apache 1.3.12 with mod_ssl 2.6.5, OpenSSL 0.9.5a

When trying to download a file (ascii) from a directory where only the
holder of a specific certificate may go GET's, I don't get any data on
stdout, even tough the server reports return status '200' which is supposed
to be success... (upload / PUT to a similarly protected directory is ok!)

I tried cURL 6.5.2 (Solaris and NT) and 7.0.11beta (Solaris) the following
way:

'# curl -E /name/of/pem.cert https://server//path/to/file', it asks me for
the password and the SSL handshake proceeds ok as I can see in the server's
log files. (I also tried the -o and -O options...)

on a directory which requires SSL but no client verification, everything
works fine.

I'm sure I'm not the only one trying to do this, but probably the only one
missing something?

Thanks for any clue, Andreas
