I can not get https to work but HTTP works fine 
  
 I am using webinject to search for a string, it work fine on HTTP but not on https.  

I have the following perl module installed LWP; HTTP::Request::Common;
HTTP::Cookies; XML::Simple; Time::HiRes 'time','sleep'; Getopt::Long;
Crypt::SSLeay; 
  
 I am running webinject like ./webinject.pl –c config.xml testmysite.xml 
  
 Here is my config.xml 
  
  <testcasefile>testcases.xml</testcasefile> 
 <reporttype>nagios</reporttype> 
  
 Here is my testmysite.xml 
  
 <testcases repeat="1"> 
  
 <case 
     id="1" 
     description1="SAMPLE TEST CASE - main Web page" 
     description2="verify string 'University of Westminster' exists in response" 
     method="get" 
     url="https://www.mysite.com/ipp/U09FUCVS.htm" 
     verifypositive="Fees" 
 /> 
  
 <case 
     id="2" 
     description1="SAMPLE [NEGATIVE] TEST CASE - main Web page" 
     description2="verify string 'bogus string' does not exist in response" 
     method="get" 
     url="https://www.mysite.com/ipp/U09FUCVS.htm" 
     verifynegative="bogus string" 
 /> 
  
  
 </testcases> 
  
  
 The web site answer to both HTTP and https, when you run testcase (testmysite.xml) with HTTP it work fine with the following output  
  WebInject OK - All tests passed successfully in 2.671 seconds |time=2.671;;;0 
  
 However when you run testcase (testmysite.xml) with https it fails with the following output 
 WebInject CRITICAL - Test case number 1 failed |time=0.186;;;0 
  
 When I doing rough? Can you help Please?  How can I diagnosis the problem? My webinject does not seem to work with https, I have Crypt::SSLeay module installed and comment out in webinject.pl 
  
 Thanks in advance.
