Hi,

I am a new hurl user and therefore, not quite sure whether my problem is an issue or just me beeing stupid^^

I would like to make a POST request and use a client certificate (.pfx) that is encrypted with a password. As far as I understand the documentation, this should work with:

hurl --cert ./certificate.pfx:password

Unfortunately, this results in an error message: "error: no such file". It seems to me, hurl interprets the password as part of the file path.

After splitting the .pfx file in a cert.crt and a key.key file without a password, the request works as expected.

OS: macos Sonoma
Terminal: iterm2
hurl: installed via homebrew a few days ago

Is this a bug or is there anything I am doing wrong?

Thank you!
