[Seaside] https requests from seaside with client certificate

[webmail at pielka.de]

Hello Philippe and Julian,

thanks for pointing me to the curl approach. This works. I used the following command line:

curl --cert <ClientCertificate>.p12:<CertificatePassword> --cert-type P12 --cookie-jar cjar -d @sap.xml -H "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" 'https://<UserAtSAPSystem>:<Password>@<SAPServer>/<WebServiceURI>

@sap.xml file contains the soap call XML.

Best Regards,
Kai-Uwe

Or possibly use stunnel running on the Seaside server to encrypt and
pass on your requests.
