While I don't generally use Stunnel for HTTPS, I found your question
interesting. Since I'm always trying<br>
to experiment with configurations of and applications for Stunnel, I
decided to give it a whirl.<br>
<br>
I'm happy to confirm that it works just fine for me. I'm not
connecting to the site in your example,<br>
but the principle is the same. Perhaps the answer lies in how your
browser parses that URL,<br>
and how, as a result, it inserts that data into the stream.<br>
<br>
For the experiment, I used Firefox 9.0.1 running under Windows XP
x86 with Stunnel version 4.53.<br>
<br>
My test config was:<br>
<br>
debug = 6<br>
fips = no<br>
delay = yes<br>
output = stunnel.log<br>
<br>
[https]<br>
client = yes<br>
accept = 127.0.1.21:7777<br>
connect = <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.host.domain:443">www.host.domain:443</a><br>
<br>
Where <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.host.domain">www.host.domain</a> is just an
example. As you can see, I did not include any <br>
TIMEOUTclose statement in my config file.<br>
<br>
Then I pointed the browser at <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://127.0.1.21:7777/do/mypage/long">http://127.0.1.21:7777/do/mypage/longparameterstringhere</a>.<br>
<br>
As far as I can tell, all of the parameters contained in that string
were passed on to the web site without<br>
any difficulty.<br>
<br>
You might want to check your log window to see what's happening when
you try to connect via Stunnel.<br>
Here's an actual example of the connection activity from my log:<br>
<br>
2012.03.22 21:20:51 LOG5[992:2548]: Service [https] accepted
connection from ***.**.***.*:2671<br>

null<br>
2012.03.22 21:21:00 LOG6[992:2548]: SSL_shutdown successfully sent
close_notify alert<br>
2012.03.22 21:21:00 LOG5[992:2548]: Connection closed: 1879 byte(s)
sent to SSL, 128546 byte(s) sent to socket<br>
<br>
If you have to post again, it would be helpful if you included more
detail.<br>
<br>
Good luck with your application!<br>
