Hi,

I’ve been gooogling around for quite some time now and I didn’t find a  
solution. If I missed it, feel free to RTFM me (with a link,  
please) 😉

I want to make two rails apps (on different servers) able to  
communicate securely through SSL.  
Meaning, when app1 needs data from app2, it connects to app2, checks  
its certificate, and requests an URL. App2 then check app1’s  
certificate, and responds if it checks out.

Any idea how I could do this ?

Scroll down to the “Certificate Authentication” section.
