Wt

I'm working a project that utilizes RESTful URLs for Peer-to-peer communication. As the system is autonomous,

each node has its own certificate and authenticates bi-directionally via ssl connections. The internal state and inter-node

communication will be reflected back to each Peer operator through Wt's awesome dynamic web interface.

However, I'm having trouble getting access to the ssl client certificate. This is my first Wt project so consider me a noob.

I've searched the forums and this issue appears to have been discussed and partially implemented.

The class Wt::WebRequest defines the accessor method sslInfo()

/*

• Returns \c 0 if the request does not have SSL client certificate
  
• information. When sslInfo() does return a pointer, the ownership of the
  
• pointer is transferred to the caller, which must delete it.
  */
  virtual WSslInfo *sslInfo() const = 0;

However, the class Wt::Http::Request which wrappers Wt::WebRequest does not expose the sslInfo() accessor.

Could sslInfo() be added to the Wt::Http::Request interface in the next release? Something like:

WSslInfo *Request::sslInfo() const

{

return request_ ? request_->sslInfo() : 0;

}

Without the accessor it appears impossible to access the client ssl certificate from a Wt Static Resource.

Thanks for your help!
