URL request and HTTPS

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Tue Feb 11, 2003 9:26 am

Hi,

I want to test a URL with HTTPS protocol. I use the URL request method to a https://foo.com.

Because the status is always "no answer", i have captured the network traces and i disappointed because the dialogue seems to be correct.

An extract of the trace:
step 1

CONNECT webstore.relaisdor.fr:443 HTTP/1.0rn
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0)rn
Host: webstore.relaisdor.frrn
Content-Length: 0rn
Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alivern
Pragma: no-cachern
rn

step 2

HTTP/1.0 200 Connection establishedrn
rn

Is it a bug?

regards

I just checked foo.com server. It does not accept connections on 443 (HTTPS) port, it accepts connections on 80 (HTTP) port. I think you should change protocol to HTTP.
Also in your example I see webstore.relaisdor.fr server. But its different server in different network (I checked IP address). So, what this example about?

Sorry,

If you want to test directly you must used this URL:

https://webstore.relaisdor.fr/OA_HTML/i ... p?site=074

Sorry again

Looks like its problem with certificate. wininet.dll returns code that means "Certificate was issued by a company you have not choosen to trust". Certificate issued "For VeriSign authorized testing only".
I think you should start Internet Explorer, open that url, and click "Install Certificate". Theoretically after this wininet.dll will accept that certificate and HostMonitor will be able to check site.

The certificate was temporary and now that the certificate is are ok hostmonitor works well.
