How to Configure SSL inside Firefox extension?

Question

Hi,

Can anybody explain how SSL can be configured inside a Firefox extension? I have a client who wants to connect to an https server and download some contents. My problem here is I don't know how to configure the communication between the client and the server inside the extension.

I would appreciate if somebody would explain this to me!

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Thanks for the answer. I mean that how can I send the client's certificate to the server for authentication and how I can authenticate the server. Also, I wonder how should I calculate the share key between the client and the server (I mean after the server sends the premaster key).

On the other hand, I have another client who wants to store some files on the same HTTPS server. Can it be done from the extension by opening a socket over SSL? How can I authenticate server and send the user's credentials?

Cheers
