http - SSL/TLS debugging: How to view messaging until encryption keys are exchanged? -
for e.g. if did https://www.gmail.com, thought use firebug see tls/ssl handshaking , message exchanges. did not see any. in forum answered firebug operates @ http , not @ https level. until keys exchanged, operate in unencrypted or clear mode. so, should firebug not show these messages, such cypher exchanges? these handshaking, keyexchange, cypher exchange messages carried through http protocol requests/responses or separately done through modules built in browser ssl/tls module , therefore cannot viewed through tools firebug? thanks.
firebug works both http , https, doesn't show ssl/tls details under https connection.
are these handshaking, keyexchange, cypher exchange messages carried through http protocol requests/responses or separately done through modules built in browser ssl/tls module , therefore cannot viewed through tools firebug?
the ssl/tls handshake not carried on http protocol, it's done @ ssl/tls level, under http (https http on ssl/tls). done in firefox nss library (part of firefox , mozilla project).
you might able see more details using tool wireshark.
