Message "Only the http protocolis available!" in log

[dfilak]

Good day. We are trying to connect to a HTTPS: address for the first time and are receiving the below messages in the HTTPAPI log. WSDL2RPG programs (Tools/400 Freeware) are running on iSeries OS V7R3M0. Programs work if going to a HTTP: address. Does the SetError message mean that https is not supported? Or are there settings somewhere needing to be changed?

Regards, David

You are using a version of HTTPAPI that is 11 years out-of-date. Please consider updating it.

It sounds to me like you're trying to use a URL that begins with https://? This is fully supported in HTTPAPI, but when you compiled it (back in 2010!) you did not compile support for SSL into the product.

Please download the latest version and compile it with SSL support included.

Thanks Scott. We do have a later version of HTTPAPI downloaded but have not retroed all our programs to use it. Will give that a go - appreciate the fast response

You shouldn't have to do anything special to make them use it? Just make sure it's in your library list (and the old one is not) and it should "just work".

Hello,
I have the same error "Only the http protocolis available!" in log. I have set SSL support to Y during installation? Is the digital certificate needs to be setup as well? Please help and thank you in advance.

If your digital certificates aren't set up you'll get a completely different message.

This particular message means that you didn't compile support for https into HTTPAPI. If you truly recompiled HTTPAPI with support for SSL enabled, then perhaps you have a different copy of HTTPAPI in your library list?
