Client - SSL/TLS

You can use the HTTPS client to connect or interact with an HTTPS listener. Provide the http:ClientSecureSocket configurations to the client to initiate an HTTPS connection.

For more information on the underlying module, see the HTTP module.

 
import ballerina/http;
import ballerina/io;

http:Client securedEP = check new("https://localhost:9090",
    secureSocket = {
        cert: "../resource/path/to/public.crt"
    }
);

An HTTP client can be configured to communicate through HTTPS as well. To secure a client using HTTPS, the client needs to be configured with a certificate file of the listener. The http:ClientSecureSocket record provides the SSL-related configurations of the client.

 
public function main() returns error? {
    http:Response response = check securedEP->get("/foo/bar");
    io:println(check response.getTextPayload());
}

# As a prerequisite, start a sample service secured with SSL.
# You may need to change the trusted certificate file path.
