Further to my previous blog about creating an SSL enabled Perl proxy - I have discovered that the SSL engine would not initialise correctly if a default certificate and key could not be found. To fix this I have set some variables for this so that their location can be specified. The updated program is available here. The whole concept of being able to inspect the conversational flow of a series of HTTP requests has allready paid great dividends. I have been using hte proxy to pin point a character encoding issue at work where Apache issues a Content-Type header for iso-8859-1, and the AxKit issues one for utf-8. Now I just need ot figure out how to switch the iso-8859-1 one off :-(. Cheers.
