HTTPS and the Winsock Internet Extender

Keywords: 	 HTTPS Winsock Internet Extender

Question:

I need to access a httpS address with Winbatch...

I do it like that :

serv=httpGetServer ("https://X.fr/X.asp", "")
path=httpGetpath("https://X.fr/X.asp", "")
fname="c:\NET_test.txt"
a=httpRecvFile(serv, path, fname, 0)
But "a" = "ERROR" !!!!

How can i make my "httpRecvFile" ?

Answer:

Our WinSock extender which you are using cannot do https.

Use our new WININET extender it can do HTTPS. But it needs either Windows 98 OR MSIE 4.0 installed.


Question:

I need to use httpRecvFile throught a Proxy address...

How can I do that ?

Answer:

In the WINSOCK extender (which cannot do https) use the httpFireWall function.

In the WININET extender (which can do https) you can define your proxy information in the iBegin function.
