RE: Connecting with HTTPS to secure server

Wilbert,

I have a similar problem posting data to a worldpay/bibit URL via https,
however in the debug log I can see that the server is actually answering and
requesting authentication (despite the fact that I have supplied
credentials).

I've not solved this yet but maybe you get further by looking at the
http_api*.txt file in /tmp (the debug log file) after recompiling httpapi
with /define debug.

>>One thing bothers me though. Scott says in his readme that he had to
assign a certificate to the application. But that doesn't seem logical,
because the apllication is a client and therefore doesn't need a
certificate! Anybody??<<

Fact is that https_init fails if you do not do this.

Hello group,

I'm new on this list, so may be this is a question that has been answered
before but I can't find any archive.

I'm using Scotts example 6 to connect to UPS to retreive tracking
information using HTTPS.

I have been trying this for some time now and I think I've covered every
aspect I can think of to make this work, but it doesn't.

I've the right userid, password and access code from UPS.
The application has been registered in the digital certificate manager and
has a list of trusted CA's I'm authorized to the key database The firewall
has been opened to access UPS through the right port (HTTPS, by head:423) I
don't use a proxy server.
I can connect from my PC
I see the traffic going through the firewall (initiate and close) The
initiate doesn't trigger an error But... I get a time-out! on the receive()
command.

I don't know where to look anymore. Has anybody got this working and can
help me?

One thing bothers me though. Scott says in his readme that he had to assign
a certificate to the application. But that doesn't seem logical, because the
apllication is a client and therefore doesn't need a certificate! Anybody??

Regards,
Wilbert
