openssl hangs and does not exit
I am trying to use openssl to get a certificate, and it seems to keep hanging. I have done a lot of research but not all of the available options seem to work on Windows.
openssl s_client -showcerts -connect google.com:443 > cert.txt
I have tried this:
openssl s_client -connect xyz:443 < quit.txt > cert.txt
Where quit.txt contains "quit\n"
from http://bytes.com/topic/php/answers/8802-automate-openssl-s_client-command-batch-php-script
That did not work. I also looked at Openssl s_clinet -connect scripting. Force quit help
I have also tried -prexit
I have also looked into this as well and can't get it working: https://serverfault.com/questions/139728/how-to-download-ssl-certificate-from-a-website
I was doing so well! I managed to do something that I thought would be impossible and a simple thing like this bug managed to stop me for the time being :(
Answer
On windows, simply typing winpty before your openssl command will do the trick. So, for example, you could create a certificate like so:
winpty openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days XXX
