Utility for sending request signed X509 certificate

Question

I have a server application which uses client certificate authentication. Each new user must get own certificate before he can use my application.

So, I want to use some utility to test user requests signed by x509 certificate. It can be any program or plugin for e.g. Chrome.

With best regards, Evgeniy

You can use a tool like curl with the --cert argument (see http://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html) or wget with the --certificate argument (see http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/HTTPS-_0028SSL_002fTLS_0029-Options.html#HTTPS-_0028SSL_002fTLS_0029-Options). Either or both are present on most *nix systems but the download locations are:

• curl: http://curl.haxx.se/download.html
• wget: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/wget.htm
