HTTP mode: Connect using cURL
Important
To use cURL to connect to a running s_server, make sure you started an s_server in HTTP mode. See Start a server in HTTP mode.
With an active demo server running in HTTP mode in one of your terminal windows, you first need to open a new terminal window. In the new window, start another bash session with docker-compose exec
.
cd [path/to/dir/]digicert-pqc-docker docker-compose exec pqc /bin/bash
Now, connect to the running server using cURL. The demo certificates you generated are self-signed and will raise an untrusted certificate warning. To ignore these warnings, you must include the -k
switch.
curl -k https://digicert.pqc/demo.html
You'll see this output:
<html> <head></head> <body> <h1>Hello world! PQC FUTURE IS HERE!</h1> </body> </html>
In your other terminal window with the active s_server running, you'll see this output:
