installation / use Cro::HTTP (windows 10)

[michaeldesu]

Trying to get HTTP::Client to work on Windows 10. I'm reporting some issues I've found so far:

Tried the following to install, but test is failing (below). So I've tried disabling test, and seems to have installed, but using it is problematic (more info underneath the following). Any assistance would be appreciated.

Install without test appears ok:

Cro::TLS & IO::Socket::Async::SSL appear to be installed ok.

C:\Users\Michael>zef install --/test Cro::TLS
All candidates are currently installed
No reason to proceed. Use --force-install to continue anyway

C:\Users\Michael>zef install --/test IO::Socket::Async::SSL

Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm happy to do some more testing. Thanks.

Server certificate verification failed: unable to get local issuer certificate

in Ruby, I can disable certification validation or verification for non-production HTTPS calls using a SSL context parameter like OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE.

How to do this with Cro?

[michaeldesu]

OK I found a solution that avoid disabling cert validation (the top answer here). Any better answer is welcome. Thanks.

I was sure this was already documented, but apparently not; sorry about that. 73fd2832b1 documents how to set a custom CA file and how to disable certificate verification.

All of this is a workaround for this issue; the loading of a default OpenSSL certificate store doesn't do anything useful on Windows, so we end up without any CA certs to check against, and thus consider everything invalid.

[michaeldesu]

I was also thinking how to use OpenSSL (I'm not so familiar) with it, but that link I suggested (notably setting env variable to SSL_CERT_FILE Value: C:<download-folder>\cacert.pem) worked well (the OS seems to deal with it, so no need to do/set anything with Cro it would seem).
