Wish [SOLVED] Integrate InitializeAcceptAll into internal HttpUtils2 library

[AscySoft]

UPDATE: i did change HttpUtils2Service, it's seems to work, You should test anyway
I attach my OkHttpUtils2 (vers 2.83) in this post
Put it in the internal folder, replacing the old one (but remember to mantain this code with any new installation of B4A)

In HttpUtils2Service,bas i added

Public AcceptAllSSLCertificates As Boolean = False

And in Service_Create I changed the folowing

Select AcceptAllSSLCertificates
        Case False
            hc.Initialize("hc")
        Case True
            hc.InitializeAcceptAll("hc")
 End Select

Then whenever you need to send a request, just befor this line set in code

HttpUtils2Service.AcceptAllSSLCertificates = True

So the old code below will be..


This is a common error regarding using self signed certification on my NAS.
I was trying to execute the following code

Dim Job As HttpJob 
'Job.InitializeAcceptAll("",Me)
Job.Initialize("", Me)'
Job.Username =""
Job.Password=""
HttpUtils2Service.AcceptAllSSLCertificates=True 'addition here
Job.Download($"${NEW_APK_Location}/version.txt"$)
Wait For (Job) JobDone(Job As HttpJob)
If Job.Success Then
            Log($"Dwnl success ${Job.GetString}"$)
Else
            Log($"Err down ${Job.ErrorMessage}"$)
 End If
Job.Release

The solution is to edit the source code found here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-okhttputils2-ihttputils2-httputils2-source-code.82632/ (vers 2.70 - internal one 2.82) and integrate "InitializeAcceptAll" as instructed here https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-using-self-signed-openssl.76268/#post-483974

This is a wish (not because I am lazzy) but because the internal version is newer (and always will be)
I could modify by myself, then compile into library and replace, but this will be a repetitive task with each new release.

Sugestion, please @Erel /another staff member, put a new method in this module, keep "Initialize" and put "Initialize2" whatever to support self signed certificates.

Thanks.

OkHttpUtils2 is a b4xlib. This means that the source code is inside the b4xlib file which is a zip file.

You can update it as needed, save it in the additional libraries folder and delete it from the internal one. This is a mature library which doesn't get updated very often.

 

[AscySoft]

doesn't get updated very often

Indeed, but then again, I will need to mantain the modiffication again and again. That's why is a wish, maybe you decide to update this lib accordingly next time (with this wish).
Or at least, let me do the modiffication as needed (not only by me if you's search in the forum) I'll send you the file, and you'll publish next time with the added moddification. In this way (often or not) this lib will remain maintained.
I apreciate an onest and direct answer. I will argue no more after that. Thanks for your time.

In this way (often or not) this lib will remain maintained.

I then need to change the library as I DON´T want to InitializeAcceptAll be the default. I am using Certified SSL Certificates.

I think it's a very reasonable wish; it may seem that only adding an Iniatilize2 method that covers InitializeAcceptAll will work for self signed certificates scenarios and will keep syncronized the code's app with the library version (not with the source class code)
There're a lot of questions on Forum regarding http problems on Self Signed Certificates communications ...(https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/pages/results/?query=initializeAcceptall&page=1)

 

[AscySoft]

I am just testing my mod, in witch by default InitializeAcceptAll is not setted on (don't worry @DonManfred ). If it's working fine i'll post in a new thread and link in here. given further explains.

 

[AscySoft]

I don't have enough time to test it, it should work (as there are no errors regarding certificates)
In the fitst post I'll put the updated and unofficial OkHttpUtils2 modification and instructions

 

[Meigionel TS]

I also believe this is a very reasonable wish.

 

[AscySoft]

note pleas, if you wish to use OkHttpUtils with/or without selfsigned certificates, you should download my mod from first post (2.83), I don;t know why Erel will not include this in the next release, it won't affect any previouse writen code.

 

[Erel]

I don;t know why Erel will not include this in the next release

Never said that it won't be included.
