i need to send json request (RESTful) to a URL where the server authority send me the username & password and ask me to send the request to the server using "HTTP Basic Authentication combined with SSL/TLS (HTTPS) will be used to authenticate user".
when i send the request to that link using cURL then i get the error. "Error: call to URL failed with status 0, curl_error SSL certificate problem: self signed certificate, curl_errno 60"
My Web server version is: IIS7, PHP Version: 5.3.27.
Now, what is the process to complete the task. please help.
This is not a problem with HTTP Basic Auth but with certificate You've generated for Your server, which is not signed.
If it's You dev server You can switch off SSL verification
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
In case it's production You have to sign Your certificate with proper CA.
