texte = I am in a position where I would like to set up a WebDNA script to sendinformation to a CGI on an SSL server (outside of my control). I needto do this as a batch executed by a trigger, as the whole purpose is toautomate the procedure.My immediate thought was to simply have a TCPConnect (and TCPSend,obviously) context inside of a Founditems loop. My problem is this; theperl script is set up to only function with an SSL connection, and theinformation in my TCPSend is not SSL encrypted, so it only returns anerror. Specifically, when I execute:[tcpconnect host=secure.domain.com&port=443][tcpsend]GET/cgi-bin/directory/script.cgi?field1=value1&field2=value2&etc=...HTTP/1.0 [UnURL]%0D%0A%0D%0A[/UnURL][/tcpsend][/tcpconnect]I get a response of:Bad RequestYour browser sent a request that this server could not understand.Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port.Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.Has anyone tackled this before? I must admit that my knowledge of theinner workings of SSL are not up to par, so I am not sure if this is aplace for the Encrypt tag, or if what I am trying to do is even possibleat all. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Marc FrechetWeb Development and Designhttp://www.clarityconnect.com/(888) 322-4900(607) 257-8268-------------------------------------------------------------This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
