Perl: Cannot Access Web Service with SSL

Question

This is my first Perl script. I have installed SOAP::Lite using CPAN and it seems to have gone okay.

I\'m trying to access a simple HelloWorld .NET web service. I\'m get

Answer 1

As SOAP::Lite repeats LWP calls it should be possible to use

$soap->ssl_opts( verify_hostname => 0 );

Answer 2

In perl v5.20.2 two things were required for me to disable ssl certificate validation:

Before any SOAP object creation (I've putted it at top)

$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME} = 0;

And then modify SOAP proxy:

my $soap = SOAP::Lite
            -> readable(1)
            -> ns($api_ns, 'tns')
            -> proxy($api_url, ssl_opts => [ SSL_verify_mode => 0 ] )
            -> on_action(sub { return "\"$action\""});
