I'm trying to parse an xml file for sslscan which has the following output (shortened). I want to parse it with Go.
<document title="SSLScan Results">
<ssltest host="x.x.x.x" port="443">
<cipher status="accepted" sslversion="TLSv1.0" bits="256" cipher="DHE-RSA-CAMELLIA256-SHA" dhebits="2048" />
.
.
<cipher status="accepted" sslversion="TLSv1.2" bits="112" cipher="DES-CBC3-SHA" /> .
<certificate>
<not-valid-before>Jun 6 00:00:00 2014 GMT</not-valid-before>
<not-valid-after>Jul 4 23:59:59 2017 GMT</not-valid-after>
</certificate>
</ssltest>
</document>
Code:
type XMLStrap struct {
Status string `xml:"status,attr"`
SSLversion string `xml:"sslversion,attr"`
Bits string `xml:"bits,attr"`
Cipher string `xml:"cipher,attr"`
}
type XMLStraps struct {
XMLName xml.Name `xml:"document"`
Straps []XMLStrap `xml:"ssltest>cipher"`
}
func ReadStraps(reader io.Reader) ([]XMLStrap, error) {
var xmlStraps XMLStraps
if err := xml.NewDecoder(reader).Decode(&xmlStraps); err != nil {
return nil, err
}
return xmlStraps.Straps, nil
}
func main() {
strapsFilePath, err := filepath.Abs("straps.xml")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
file, err := os.Open(strapsFilePath)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
defer file.Close()
xmlStraps, err := ReadStraps(file)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
os.Exit(1)
}
for i := 0; i < len(xmlStraps); i++ {
fmt.Printf("%s %s %s %s
", xmlStraps[i].Status, xmlStraps[i].SSLversion, xmlStraps[i].Bits, xmlStraps[i].Cipher)
}
}
Everything works fine but I have no idea how to parse the date in <certificate><not-valid-before>
without creating a new reader?
I tried to change the first two structs to
type XMLStrap struct {
Status string `xml:"cipher>status,attr"`
SSLversion string `xml:"cipher>sslversion,attr"`
Bits string `xml:"cipher>bits,attr"`
Cipher string `xml:"cipher>cipher,attr"`
Cert string `xml:"certificate>not-valid-after,chardata"`
}
type XMLStraps struct {
XMLName xml.Name `xml:"document"`
Straps []XMLStrap `xml:"ssltest"`
}
but this doesn't work.
xml: cipher>status chain not valid with attr flag
exit status 1
Apparently in older versions of Go it worked.
