https download

[aartjan]

I want to download a html file that uses a secured (https) URL. I tried the Datasocket and Internet Toolkit VI's, but that won't do it. Anybody know of a way around this? I realize the data is decrypted by the browser as I watch it in a browser, so I think the most obvious solution is to use .NET or ActiveX tools to let a browser do the hard work and then retreive the HTML text.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Aart-Jan

Hi Aart-Jan,

Currently there is not much information available on communicating with https servers. The ActiveX method is indeed the best option to use currently.

In the following thread, another user requested something similar:

HTTPS Communication

The last post in that thread (by Lycangeek) gives some usefull links to the Microsoft website, which gives you more information on the ActiveX API.

I hope this will provide you with enough information to set up an HTTPS communication via the Internet Explorer.

Regards,
