Hi,
I'd like to call a REST webservice that requires a client digital certificate for authentication. I couldn't find any documention related to sending a key in the request ...
Unfortunately I found out, HttpClient does not support client-side private key :

Any plan to support it in the future ?
Note : We are using OpenEdge 11.6.3.
Thanks
Thank you for your answer.
The client-side certificate authentication is part of the TLS protocol standard :
en.wikipedia.org/.../Transport_Layer_Security
The webservice I tried to call requires this specific handshake.
I knew about the .Net and curl alternative, but I hoped there was another way natively in ABL/OpenEdge Net Library.
As for now, we opted for a dedicated micro service (based on nodejs), which is called by ABL and act as a proxy.
I hope the OpenEdge Net Library will evolve to keep up with the web standards.
How are you supposed to send the client certificate? Is it supposed to be part of the header or embedded as a JSON element in the request or through some other type of mechanism?
As you previously stated, OpenEdge does not support this functionality natively. If you are using Windows, you may be able to do this using a .Net class. Another potential option is to make the call using curl.

Any plan to add this support anytime soon (or later) ?
