Use Https for data transfer

[mrjaw]

Hi!
I am doing an app using http to transfer data but I wanna know if it is posible to use https instead of http.
I am using the library http but it doesnt support https. There is another library that can support https?

Nevermind if there is to pay for this lib.

Thks.

Https should be supported by the Http library. There are some issues with .Net CF support for SSL. Do you get any error message?

There are indeed some issues using https with cf. net in certain circumstances. Microsoft fixed it but as far as I know, the fix was never included in an official successive update of cf. net.

You might find the corrected cf.net by googling. If not, I may have a copy on my PC at home. In any case the end-user will need to reinstall cf. net.

If I recall correctly, here is the official information from Microsoft:

FIX: A System.Net.WebException occurs when you run an application to send HTTPS Web requests to a server in an embedded device

This is the error that I get when I use a https:

Response.Value = Request.GetResponse 'This line calls the server and gets the
response.

Error description:
Response code=-1
TrustFailure

I used the example in the help. If I use http normal everything is fine. I did an app using this http but no https

Any cluees?

Maybe this site uses an invalid certificate (at least as seen by the device). Have you tried accessing it from the browser?

 

[mrjaw]

Yes! I tried to access from my browser and works fine. The certificate was done by myself in linux.
