ssl on localhost

0

I am running a jetty server on my local machine using ssl. I have the p12 files from the server imported using 127.0.0.1,8443,http,<path>,<password>. Files show as being read by the ssldebug file. When I connect to my server using https://localhost:8443/ I get no traffic in wireshark.

Are you running on Windows? If so localhost (also known as loopback interface) capture is not supported by Wireshark (or specifically the WinPcap library) out of the box. There are workarounds explained in link text

Are you running on something other than Windows - i.e., Linux, Solaris, *BSD, Mac OS X, or some other UN*X? If so, you have to capture on the loopback interface, rather than on an Ethernet or Wi-Fi or... interface. The loopback interface is named either "lo0" (*BSD, Mac OS X, some other UN*Xes) or "lo" (Linux, possibly some other UN*Xes). Most versions of Solaris don't support capturing on the loopback interface.
