HTTPGet request – secure requests

Hi Chris,

I have not had any issues with any of the servers I work with that were not resolvable. (Credit Card Interface, Lab Results, Drug Guides, PACS Image Management).

Issues normally are on the server side but also you might not be sending a proper header or have a URL formatting problem. Hopefully you have a good technical contact with the service you are working with and can ask the administrator to track the conversions between client and server.

I use the “Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0” object for all my communications (for the ie6 object). This is the latest that I am aware of, but you can see that I also allow for older versions for people that never upgrade their systems. In Windows 7 and Windows 10 I see only ver3 and ver6 are available to select from.

Last thing, as Doug pointed out most Credit Card Companies now require newer version of TLS (1.0 and 1.1 being depreciated). We have had to run compliance testing for this and everything checks out for TLS 1.2 compatibility.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the below. I will have a look.

The thing is the automation object we use, works fine for one https:// address but not for another. I presume this is related to server side settings/requirements than being an Omnis issue though.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!

Regards

Chris

Hi Doug, Chris,

Actually, you can. On Windows you can via IE Automation or via Kelly’s TCP Talk.

Here is how I do a getRequest via IE Automation.

Do method —-getRequest (lvURL,cvHeaderList,”,lvUserName,lvPassword,lvResponseText) Returns lvResponseCode

; getRequest Method
If sys(6)=’X’
; Use TCPTalk for Macs
Calculate pvURL as replaceall(pvURL,’ ‘,’%20’) ;; Encode Spaces
Do cvTCPTalk.$doHTTPRequest(‘GET’,pvURL,pvHeaderList,pvXML,pvUserID,pvPassword,pvResponse) Returns responseCode Else ; Create the IE Object Do ie6.$createobject() If ie6.$isavailable Set reference httpobj to ie6.$ref Else Do ie5.$createobject() If ie5.$isavailable Set reference httpobj to ie5.$ref Else Do ie4.$createobject() If ie4.$isavailable Set reference httpobj to ie4.$ref Else Do ie3.$createobject() If ie3.$isavailable Set reference httpobj to ie3.$ref Else Quit method con(jst(statusCode,’-3NP0′),’ ‘,statusDesc) End If End If End If End If Do httpobj.$open(‘GET’,pvURL,kFalse) ; Make Headers Begin reversible block Set current list pvHeaderList End reversible block For each line in list from 1 to #LN step 1 Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(pvHeaderList.c1,pvHeaderList.c2)
End For
Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(‘User-Agent’,’ClienTrax’)
Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(‘Content-Length’,len(pvXML))
Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(‘Cache-Control’,’no-cache,no-store,post-check=0,pre-check=0′)
Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(‘Host’,pvURL)
If pvUserID<>”&pvPassword<>”
; Set Server Authentication
Calculate lvAuth as con(pvUserID,’:’,pvPassword) UUEncode (lvAuth,lvEncodedAuth) Do httpobj.$setrequestheader(‘Authorization’,con(‘Basic ‘,lvEncodedAuth)) End If ; Send Request Do httpobj.$send(pvXML) ; Get Response Calculate pvResponse as httpobj.$responsetext Calculate statusDesc as httpobj.$statustext Calculate statusCode as httpobj.$status If 1=2 Calculate #S1 as httpobj.$getallresponseheaders End If ; Give the memory back…
Do httpobj.$release()
Calculate responseCode as con(jst(statusCode,’-3NP0′),’ ‘,statusDesc) End If Quit method responseCode

hi Chris:

you can’t use https with studio 4 — doesn’t work. the feature I think was new to studio 5.
