As2

This is a proof of concept implementation of AS2 protocol: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4130.txt.

Tested with the mendelson AS2 implementation from http://as2.mendelson-e-c.com

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'as2'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install as2

Usage

Generate self signed server certificate:

One step

openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout server.key -out server.crt -days 365

Multi step

  1. Generate a key openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
  2. Copy the protected key cp server.key server.key.org
  3. Remove the passphrase openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key
  4. Generate signing request openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
  5. Sign the request with your key openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in server.csr -signkey server.key -out server.crt

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake test to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.

You can run a local server with bundle exec ruby examples/server.rb and send it a file with bundle exec ruby examples/client.rb <file>. You may need to generate new certificates under test/certificates first (using localhost as your common name).
