Hi,

i am trying to load a HTTPS secure page with this code, but only get   NIL
back.
IEE and Firefox Requesters can load the HTTPS page correct.

Any idea ?

Bye
Hubert

#include "AsiNet.ch"
#pragma Library( "Asinet10.lib" )

   PROCEDURE Main()

      cURL := "http://192.168.0.1/status.htm
"   type in https:// ...
      do while .t.
         cls

         @0,0 say "URL:" get cURL
         read
         if lastkey() = 27
            exit
         else
            if "HTTPS" $ upper(cURL)     i thought LoadFromUrl() does ist
automatik, but don't work
               @24,1 say "HTTPS"
               ?? INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT,INTERNET_COMMUNICATION_SECURE
               cTxt := LoadFromUrl(alltrim(cURL),;
                                   INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT ,;
                                   INTERNET_COMMUNICATION_SECURE )
               if cTxt = NIL
                  cTxt := "*** Fehler NIL ***"
               endif
            else
               @24,1 say "HTTP"
               cTxt := LoadFromUrl(alltrim(cURL))

            endif
            if empty(cTxt)
               cTxt := "*** kein Inhalt ***"
            endif
            memoedit(cTxt,1,1,23,79)
         endif
      enddo

   RETURN

AFAIK, ASINET can't handle https yet.

Hi,

The function LoadFromUrl() from the asinet library is https aware.
When the url starts with https://.... this will be tracked by asinet
and a secure transaction is initiated via ssl port.

If you have trouble with https request, a sample would be very usefull
that demostrates the problem.

Shame on me... I didn't read them 

That teaches me not to believe all the things I read in the newsgroup.

I thought I read some months ago that ASINET wasn't able to handle https
request...

In general no, but the LoadFromURL() function is pretty cool.

I have an application, which synchs the local POS app, with the webserver,
via LoadFromURL(), everytime it manage to fine a Net connection, whilst its
ON.

Running with no problem across some 100+ installation in US since over one
and half years.
