--cert option with password -> file not found

[mm202]

Hi,

I am a new hurl user and therefore, not quite sure whether my problem is an issue or just me beeing stupid^^

I would like to make a POST request and use a client certificate (.pfx) that is encrypted with a password. As far as I understand the documentation, this should work with:

hurl --cert ./certificate.pfx:password

Unfortunately, this results in an error message: "error: no such file". It seems to me, hurl interprets the password as part of the file path.

After splitting the .pfx file in a cert.crt and a key.key file without a password, the request works as expected.

OS: macos Sonoma
Terminal: iterm2
hurl: installed via homebrew a few days ago

Is this a bug or is there anything I am doing wrong?

Thank you!

Hi @mm202 you're not stupid, it's probably a bug with Hurl😓!

I wasn't aware of the possibility to provide a password with --cert option and looking at

hurl/packages/hurl/src/http/client.rs

Lines 149 to 151 in af3f78e

	if let Some(client_cert_file) = options.client_cert_file.clone() {
	self.handle.ssl_cert(client_cert_file)?;
	self.handle.ssl_cert_type("PEM")?;

I've the impression that we don't manage the optional password and use the cert option value as a file. Just need to check it with @fabricereix and we'll probably convert this discussion to a bug report.

Thank for this!
