My vendor is moving to HTTPS. I've changed my URL but a call returns "Only the http protocol is available!" message. I see in the HTTPAPIR4 code where that error is being returned and a reference to HAVE_SSL. I don't have the SOCKUTILR4 object in my library--is this what I'm missing or must I reinstall the full package for SSL support?
Thanks!

Re: MOving to HTTPS from HTTP
SOCKUTILR4 is not related to HTTPAPI.
Long ago (more than 20 years ago now) the operating system did not ship with the cryptography features that were needed to use SSL (HTTPS) so it was necessary to be able to build HTTPAPI without support for HTTPS. Apparently, someone compiled it without that support enabled on your system.
Please get the latest version of HTTPAPI and recompile it with SSL support enabled.
