This is a Ruby version of the Monkeysphere Validation Agent.
To run msva-rb, you need to install the libraries upon which it depends. You can do so using either Rubygems or Debian packaging. To install the prerequisites using Rubygems, make sure that you have, the Monkeysphere, Ruby (including the ruby OpenSSL libraries), and Rubygems installed, then do
sudo gem install json sinatra thin
To install the prerequisites on Debian, do
sudo aptitude install monkeysphere ruby libopenssl-ruby libsinatra-ruby libjson-ruby thin
If you want to be able to run the test suite, you will need some additional packages:
sudo gem install rake rspec mocha rack-test
or
sudo aptitude install rake librspec-ruby libmocha-ruby
Unfortunately, rack-test is not yet available in Debian, so you will
need to install it some other way: either from
upstream or from a gem.
To launch the MSVA, simply do
./run.rb
from within the msva-ruby directory. This will start the agent
listening (only to connections from localhost) on port 8901.
You can then visit http://localhost:8901/ to validate some keys or use xul-ext-monkeysphere to validate TLS keys from within your web browser.
Would you like to run the test suite? Of course you would. Just do
rake spec
This is all experimental software under active development. Things may not work, and things which once worked may break.
