[chef] How to ignore SSL check for resource http_request in cookbook

["jeffty" < >]

Hi All,

 

In my recipe I want to test a POST request with resource http_request in a
chef client:

 

http_request 'posting data' do

  action :post

  url 'https://my_restful_service:8080/test'

  message '{}'

  headers({'Authorization' => "Basic #{

    Base64.encode64('guest:guest ')}",

    'Content-Type' => 'application/xml'

  })

end

 

 

And get below errors in the chef client node:

[2015-08-05T05:18:38-04:00] ERROR: http_request[posting data] (test::default
line 14) had an error: OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError: SSL_connect returned=1
errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed

[2015-08-05T05:18:38-04:00] FATAL: Chef::Exceptions::ChildConvergeError:
Chef run process exited unsuccessfully (exit code 1)

 

How to solve this? Is it possible disable SSL checking for this?

 

And if the post succeed how to do something based on the post status and
response content?

 

Thanks & Regards

Jason
