Require SSL Server Certificate Domain Match

See more HTTP Examples

Demonstrates how to require that the SSL server certificate's domain matches the intended domain. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

local success = false

-- This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local http = chilkat.Http.new()

-- Call SetSslCertRequirement to require that the SSL server certificate's domain
-- matches only the domain we are intending to communicate with.

-- In this example we will test with the URL https://wrong.host.badssl.com/
-- which intentionally has an SSL certificate that does not match "wrong.host.badssl.com"

http:set_ssl_cert_requirement("SAN", "wrong.host.badssl.com")

-- Also validate the server cert..
http.require_ssl_cert_verify = true

-- Try sending the request.  It should fail within the SSL/TLS handshake
-- because the server's certificate does not match the domain "wrong.host.badssl.com"
local html = http:quick_get_str("https://wrong.host.badssl.com/")
if not http.last_method_success then
    print(http.last_error_text)
else
    print("Unexpected success.")
end
