Question About Internet TransferControl

Hi

I use Internet Transfer Control to access send request to a server via https protocol but I receive this error: Client authorization not setup

I can connect to that site using Internet Explorer without authorization

Thanks

I'm tring to use https using the Internet Transfer Protocol. I'm a little confused. Been tring to get the following code to work.

Dim RemoteHost as string
Dim RemotePort as Integer
Dim strFilePath as string
Dim strRemoteHost as string
Dim strURLPath as string
Dim strURL as string
Dim strFormData as string
Dim strInput as string

strPassword = frmFTPInfo.txtN_password.Text
strUsername = frmFTPInfo.txtN_Username.Text
strPortNum = frmFTPInfo.txtN_PortNum.Text

strRemoteHost = "https://stream-portal.akamai.com"
strURLPath = "/notifyuser/action-script.php3"
RemotePort = 443
Inet1.URL = m_strRemoteHost
Inet1.UserName = strUsername
Inet1.Password = strPassword
Inet1.Protocol = icHTTPS
Inet1.RemoteHost = strRemoteHost
strFormData = "user=" & strUsername & "&action=" & strAction & "&port=" & strPortNum
strURL = strRemoteHost & strURLPath & strFormData

strInput = Inet1.OpenURL(strURL, icString)
text1.text = strInput




Currently when I run this code, text1.text = ""
Could you help me in making this work. I want to be able to execute or open the following link:
https://mycompany.com/directory/scri...n&port=PortNum
When I click on the link manually, it works. I want to be able to do this when an event happens. I don't even think that I am connecting to the server. Need help on this if possible.

Thanks for your assistance.

Mike,

Not sure if this is just a typo, the line: "strURL = strRemoteHost & strURLPath & strFormData" should actually be: "strURL = strRemoteHost & strURLPath & "?" & strFormData"

Anyway, if you have a server out there that I can test against, I might be able to spare some time to test the code. Email me if you have any.

Hello

If you also need to render the output I have a better suggestion,

You can use web browser control and call it's "navigate" method. I think that it is simpler.

Even if you don't want to render the output you can set 'visible' property to false and use it.

Web browser control has also some advantages spec. when you want to use https protocol, for example if your server certificates have a problem Inet will only returns an error without any output, but web browser do the same thing as IE doe's.(Shows you a confirmation dialog and if you confirm the certificate it will do it's job, probably this occurs is when visible property is true)

Thanks

Thanks, I will try it and let you know.

Tried that, still did not work. Someone suggested using the Web Browser Control. I will try using that and see what happens. I'll let you know.
