Winsock And HTTPS
So my first question. I downloaded some code using the winsock api and it looks like theres a tag in it to flag SSL/HTTPS protocol. Am I incorrect with this and why isn't that flag in the winsock control?
My main question is I'm trying to put together the HTTPS header and I'm not having any luck it keeps dropping the connection imeeadiatly and I'm assuming its because I don't have the header formatted properly.
Is there any examples of a valid https request and header someone can point me to?
I'm currently trying to follow the rfc and its a little confusing.
HTTPS And Winsock
Is there any way to make a POST work over https via winsock?
I can do it very easily if Im just using standard HTTP
but I can't do it using HTTPS and the winsock control.
I mean i set it up to use port 443 and everything but I just get 403 errors.
SSL / Https With Winsock- Know How?
How do I download a web page at an https:// address with Winsock? I have the winsock control in my app and I try the sending GET + the URL. But the server says I'm using the wrong command. I also tried an ActiveX (PowerTCP) to do this, but I need something asynchronous (it's not), so I can have multiple connections at once.
Accessing HTTPS With Winsock.
I know it's possible, but I cannot seem to work it out. I know that I need to grab the site's security certificate and use that to decrypt the webpage, but I have not found anyone who knows how to to do this.
Anyone?
HTTPS Proxy In WinSock Control?
Hi
Is there a way to use a https proxy with the MS winsock control? I have been searching these forums for about 2 days and cannot find anything about it..
Any help is appreciated!!
Also, is there a alternative to the WinSock control with new features/functions in it?
Thanks
Connecting To Https (secure) Sites With Winsock, Possible Or Not?
I'm just starting out with the winsock control and I'm wondering
how I can connect to secure sites. Now when I connect to sites
I just use :
winsock1.connect "www.mysite.net", 80
and specifying http or https in front of the URL does not work.
So will it be difficult for me to connect to secure sites, log in and
retrive data using the winsock control or is it not possible?
If not, what other ways are there to connect to a secure site, log in and retrieve data, without using the rather bulky webbrowser control?
Maybe through API?
HTTPS : Need To Send A Text File To A Server Using HTTPS In VB 6.0 Application
Hi !
I have a VB 6.0 application in which I need to put a text file on the server using HTTPS protocol only.
I downloaded Catalyst File Transfer Control. I am able to get files through the control but cannot put files on server though my program runs without errors.
Any other means by which HTTPS can be used to transfer a text file from a VB 6.0 application to server ?
If somebody could help out !
Thanks,

Https
Ok, I am losing my mind. I did ask this on WinSockVB, but nothing, so I thought I would try here.
I have an application that will need to post data to a website using HTTPS. HTTP was easy, but I am not sure where to start using the winsock control and https. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

I was just curious, do you know what information needs to be sent to HTTPS to gain data retrieval? (winsock)

SSL/HTTPS In VB6
I have to download secure information from the web and I don't know where to start. I know I need to implement a client application that uses HTTPS to connect to the specific server.
How do I get my app to support HTTPS connections/SSL v3 connections?
I'm using VB6 and it will probably reside on an NT4 box.
Any help would be appreciated

Need Help: Download From HTTPS
I have been charged w/ the task of pulling a flat file (.csv) from an HTTPS site and pushing that file to our file share. The web server is hosted by an ASP, thus there is a simple authentication form w/ username and password fields. I need a script that will authenticate itself to the web server, save the file locally and then copy the file to the file share. Here is what I have tried thus far but have not been able to successfully compile. Please look over this code and tell me where I went wrong. My background is mostly VB Script and C++ so I could just be simple syntax problems. Thanks

URLDownloadToFile And HTTPS
I wrote a program that uses the WebBrowser control in order to load and recover some Web pages.
Then I had used the URLDownloadToFile function in order to save these pages on my disc.
This solution was corrected in the past, but now I must recover some pages that use the HTTPS protocol, and when I tried to run my program, the URLDownloadToFile fails.
Someone can tell me why?
Can I use the URLDownloadToFile function with HTTPS protocol?
If no, how can I save my pages without?
Note: I have need to save the pages in invisibile and silent way for the user. He does not have to see the save prompt.
Thanks
Download URL (https:\....)
I know that you can use the INET command to download the html source of a website e.g
Source = Inet1.OpenURL("http://www.yahoo.com")
BUT
this appears not to work for a secured website i.e https://.... Why is this? There is no problem viewing the code with view source from IE, so how come I cant download it. Is there another way perhaps?
Thanks.
Https Headers

HTTPS GET/POST Using API
I hate having to include OCX's like MSINET with my projects, because many computers need to register them before being used, which alot of people dont know how to do. Is there any way of using API's to send GET and POST requests to secure websites and get the HTML source back?
Vb6 Https Server
I'm looking for either a way to create an https server ocx control, or find a ready made one open source. I'm writing an open source project that needs a simple secure control panel built into it. I've been searching, but I can't seem to find anything for a server, only clients. is it even possable to do this? or should I settle for standard http or use stdin/stdout to interface with apache or similar? I'd like to keep my app self contained and simple to install without requiring other programs if I can.

Inet And HTTPS
I am trying to use the Internet Transfer Control (also known as Inet) to get information/download from an HTTPS site with a username/password. I have the protocol set to HTTPS, and I have the username and password properties of the control all filled in correctly. I created the _StateChanged subroutine to see if the state changes. The first time I run the OpenURL method of the control, the state is changed to 1 (The control is looking up the IP address of the specified host computer.) and every subsequent time, the state is 3 (The control is connecting to the host computer.) but it never gets any further than that. I have no idea why this won't connect. At this point I'm wondering if there are any 3rd party controls that I could try to use to connect to the site. Any suggestions would be appriciated.
BTW, here's what I'm trying to do:
There are a bunch of Microsoft Access databases dumped onto a HTTPS server that I am trying to use Visual Basic to download. My application analyzes these databases, and it works fine. Since the data is dumped to the website several times a day, I am trying to automate the downloading of the databases based on which ones the end user needs (there are over 100 databases to choose from) So once the user selects which databases it needs, the application should download these according to their schedule...only I can't even connect to the server at this point.
Mswinsck Https
how would i do this?
for example login into yahoo in secure mode
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Winsock1.Close
Winsock1.Connect "login.yahoo.com", "443"

Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
Dim Packet As String
Packet = "GET /config?login=userpasswd=pass HTTPS/1.1" & vbCrLf
Packet = Packet & "Accept: text/html" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
Winsock1.SendData Packet
that isn't right, how would i do this?

Is It Possible To Use Inet With Https?
Can I use Inet to automize something like this:
Entering an https:// website, logging in with a username and password, clicking on links and choosing from dropdown listboxes in the website until I get to the desired page in the website and then downloading a file to which there is a link on that page? Let me emphasize, I'm talking about an https website, and the program should also be able to "surf" automatically inside the website (it should be able to follow links placed on the website's pages, choose from dropdown lists etc.)
If not Inet, is there any other way to do it?
Thanks,

HTTPS GET Requests In VB
I'm trying to write a program which requires me to get authentication from a HTTPS server using a GET request. I tried using the Winsock control in VB to connect to the HTTPS server but I never get a response. I'm a novice at making requests to a HTTPS server but I suspect I need something more sophisticated than the Winsock control in order to connect to the HTTPS server.
Any ideas?
HTTPS Connection
I am in urgently need to make a secure connection to https site. (direct, no proxy)
I've used two different ways :
1. Using Inet VB component :
Inet1.UserName = "valid login"
Inet1.Password = "valid password"
Inet1.Protocol = icHTTPS
Text1.Text = Inet1.OpenURL("https://xxx.xxx.com")
2. Using wininet.dll
hOpen = InternetOpen("VB OpenUrl", INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_PRECONFIG, vbNullString, vbNullString, 0) ' returns valid handle
iConect = InternetConnect(hOpen, "https://xxx.xxx.com", INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT, "valid login", "valid passwd", INTERNET_SERVICE_HTTP, 0, 0) ' returns 0
In both case it returns Error 401.2
I don't understand it, cause if i use browser, I can easy get in. I've a valid account for this site.
Please help ! I am sitting third day over it yet.
Thanx in forward.

HTTP Vs HTTPS Using WinInet.dll
I have set up my VB app to POST some information for me, which is working over HTTP. I am told there are several changes I must make to get the code to work with SSL, however after making those changes, it doesn't work.
Here is a code fragment that demonstrates the changes I have made. I have also been told that when specifing a secure site, you need to use https://www.XXX.com as opposed to www.XXX.com (with no http) for the value of Server in the following code. I have already done that. Notice these changes, depending on whether Secure is set or not.
InternetOpen - no change
InternetConnect - changed from INTERNET_INVALID_PORT_NUMBER to INTERNET_DEFAULT_HTTPS_PORT (also server has https:// in front of it)
HttpOpenRequest - Added INTERNET_FLAG_SECURE flag

Currently, I get an error from HttpSendRequest when operating in secure mode. It returns a Boolean error, and GetLastError returns 0, so there is no useful error message I can get.
Code:
hOpen = InternetOpen("WGHelper.exe", _

If hOpen <> 0 Then

VB6 And Posting To A Https Site With PHP
Hello all new viewer here,
I've been searching through about a hundered websites and I can't seem to find the answer to my problem.
I have a program which posts information to a PHP form. That form then posts it to mySQL server that I have. This works fine when I'm connecting to a standard http session. However I now need to place this on my secure server. I can't seem to find any solutions where posting to https:\ will work.
The following code works to post to the unsecure site...
Public Sub Post2(URL As String, FieldNames() As String, FieldValues() As String)
Dim PostData As String
Dim i As Integer
PostData = ""
For i = LBound(FieldNames) To UBound(FieldNames)
If PostData <> "" Then PostData = PostData & "&"
PostData = PostData & FieldNames(i) & "=" & FieldValues(i)
Next
Me.Inet2.Execute URL, "POST", PostData, "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
End Sub
Just changing the inet control to use https is not enough for this... any help would be much appricated.

WebBroser1.navigate(“https:…”) In VB 6.0?
Need help in sending SMS from VB 6.0.
We use an external service for this, so we only need to send a https: string with url , username, password and message to be sent.
I tried it from VB 2008 and it was working find, but there I used the WebBroser1.navigate(“https:…”)
It is also returning an error or status code that will be displayed in the WebBrowser1.
The problem is that we are using VB 6.0 where this application will be used, so I wonder how to implement it in VB 6.0
The only code fragment I found was this ( But it was not for VB 6.0):
Set xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
xmlhttp.Open("GET", "https://keyte.. ", false)
Display.innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText
Any help on what component to use will be fine. I got the professional version of VB 6.0.

Help With Robust HTTPS Download
I have a program that retrieves data from a page that uses HTTPS.
I previously used URLDownloadToFile function which is easy to use.
The problem is when there is a unstable internet connection (like it is in China where I stay at the moment) the function gets stuck around 50% of the time. I guess this is a problem in IE. The same thing happens in a normal IE browser, Firefox works fine.
So I found an excellent code from Eduardo A. Morcillo, (http://www.mvps.org/emorcillo) which works fine also in bad conditions. The problem is when I'm using a software firewall it also get stuck around 20% of the time.
Does anyone have experience of this problem? I really don't want to spend too much time going into the HTTP protocols...
Solution: HTTP & HTTPS
Hello everybody,
Here is a simple code that makes HTTP and HTTPs requests to URLs. As you can see the code is simple and uses the msxml.dll (Microsoft XML version 2) that comes with the IE 5. If you want to reload the URL again then set "Every visit" to the settings of IE.
Enjoy it!!!
Private Function MakeHTTPCall(theURL As String) As String
Dim xmlhttp As New MSXML.XMLHTTPRequest
On Error GoTo errorHandler
Call xmlhttp.Open("GET", theURL, False)
Call xmlhttp.send
MakeHTTPCall = xmlhttp.responseText
errorHandler:
If Err.Number <> 0 Then _
MakeHTTPCall = ""
End Function
Hope it helps!!!

Retrieve Data Under HTTPs...
Hello everybody.
I am working with VB6 and I am using the MSINET component to get a response from a URL. With something like that I get a response for a HTTP URL:
tmp = Inet1.OpenURL(theURL)
where theURL contains the URL plus the username and passowrd encrypted.
The server, on the other side, is been implemented to response with a XML string which is stored in the tmp variable.
But for a HTTPs URL I can not get any response. Is there any simple way that I can have the XML string for HHTPs by using the MSINET component?
Thanx in advance.

Automating Https Sessions
I'm interested in a program that will automatically log in to an https web site, with a supplied user name and password. Once in, the program will automatically go to specific pages in the secure site, and then download specific data files. Where can I get something like this? I don't mind if it's a DLL -- I can use it in a VB program to make use of the functionality.

SOAP, XMLHTTP And HTTPS
Hi,
I hope there are not too many acronyms
I have to call a web service, and I have to do it with SOAP.
I have looked a couple of examples that seem to work, and they use the XMLHTTP object (Microsoft XML), so you construct the SOAP message and thought XMLHTTP object will be send to the server, and then you get back the answer.
So far so good.
My question is, Can you use also the XMLHTTP object with HTTPS (so with SSL)? Anybody uses XMLHTTP with SSL?
This is an important question, because if not, I have to use something else to get to the webservice.
If so, which medium have you used?
Thanks for your time.
