curl support for ssl installed with yum

[Jason Lake]

We have an SSL version of curl version manually installed from ftp://public.dhe.ibm.com/aix/freeSoftware/aixtoolbox/RPMS/ppc/ on our system i

I installed it a bit ago and am now wanting to update it... I know it must be different from the versions (aix vs 400??) being installed using yum -- but it would be nice to do it with yum

Is there a way to add this version to the repo packages?

Thanks

My apologies -- the link above only gets you halfway there. The version I installed below is giving me an ssl error with a newer service and was looking to upgrade. However I realize that the first link leads to the non ssl version and you have to dig deeper and have an ibm id to access the ssl version -- but it looks like there is not a newer version at that location.

However I am still interested in why the ssl version couldn't be added to the yum install repo?

The rpm I was talking about is https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/iwm/web/download.do?source=aixtbx&pageType=urx&S_PKG=dlaixww

The version of curl provided by yum on IBM i supports SSL/TLS, why not use that?

It appears my path is messed up? I thought I was running curl from /QOpensys

jason: /QOpenSys ->which curl /QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/curl

jason: /QOpenSys ->curl --version curl 7.9.3 (powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.3.0) libcurl 7.9.3

jason: /QOpenSys ->/QOpenSys/pkgs/bin/curl --version curl 7.58.0 (powerpc-ibm-os400) libcurl/7.58.0 OpenSSL/1.0.2o zlib/1.2.11 Release-Date: 2018-01-24 Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher http https imap imaps pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp Features: AsynchDNS IPv6 Largefile NTLM NTLM_WB SSL libz TLS-SRP UnixSockets HTTPS-proxy

Thanks -- I don't understand why -- but I can run the yum installed version if I type the full path

If you just installed it and you're running from Bash, you'll need to run hash -r to clear the cached location: https://kadler.github.io/2018/10/02/bash-command-oddities.html
