Mutual TLS authentication
Anyone here have experience with getting mutual TLS authentication working with an Elixir HTTP client?I have a CA file, certificate, and private key that work in a few other contexts with the request am trying to make:
- In Postman, using the built-in “Certificates” feature
- With curl, using
--capath,--cert, and--key - In Node.js, using the request-promise library
In terms of Elixir, I’ve tried with HTTPoison and Mint, setting the :ssl and :transport_opts options, respectively, to:
[
certfile: @certfile,
keyfile: @keyfile,
cacertfile: @cacertfile
]
Mint times out on connect/4 and HTTPoison sends the request, which the server rejects.The relevant information I can extract from the 400 response that HTTPoison gets me is “400 The SSL certificate error”—not very helpful. I’ve reached out to the support team for the API I am working with, but I was hoping you folks might have some insight in the interim.
Thanks in advance!

I’ve gotten it to work with HTTPoison, something like this:
