Is TIpClientHttp supposed to work for secured sites?

[HGAutomator]

Danielle, thanks for clearing up the missing pieces. I understand now.

Serge, I'll take another look at HMG. Hopefully, it works smoothly with Minigui.

Serge,

I was able to make the build work with the hbc/hbp file, and that solves a whole host of problems.

But unfortunately, I'm still getting an error when using an https url as the parameter to new():

Code: Select all

Http_o := TIpClientHttp():New( ChangeLink_s )

Error BASE/1081 Operation not supported: TIPCLIENTHTTP:new() Args: [1] = O TIPCLIENTHTTP [2] = C https

I'll try tracing through the class again, to see if something pops out that isn't immediately obvious.

Try this:

In your HBC file

Code: Select all

inc=yes
head=native
libs=hbssl
libs=libeay32
libs=ssleay32

in your HBP file

Code: Select all

hbssl.hbc

Thanks Auge,

the answer is in this check, in the http_adv.prg module:

Code: Select all

   IF oURL:cProto == "https" .AND. ! tip_SSL()
      ? "Error: Requires SSL support"
      RETURN
   ENDIF

tip_SSL() is returning false.

Gotta stop for the night, but at least I have a direction for tomorrow.


Thanks & regards,

Update: Got it, after throwing in:

REQUEST __HBEXTERN__HBSSL__

Disregard the rest, just leaving it for anyone researching the topic in the future.

Thanks everyone, for their assistance. I'll get a donation to the project this week, if they take donations.

Yikes. Still not working, not sure what's missing.

This is my hbc file:

Code: Select all

inc=yes
head=native
libpaths=c:\HWDebug
libs=hwgdebug
libs=hbssl
libs=libeay32
libs=ssleay32
libs=hbtip

, and the HB_STATIC_OPENSSL environmental variable is set, before running the app:

Code: Select all

SET HB_STATIC_OPENSSL=yes

Where is tip_SSL() defined? Maybe looking at that, would give me a clue.

f you are going to use the hbtip library with the different secure sites (read HTTPs, POP3s, FTPs, IMAPs), it is suggested that this library be compiled with SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) support.
in this case you should add "SET HB_STATIC_OPENSSL=yes"
as is indicated in : https://github.com/harbour/core#how-to- ... components
in "C:\Harbour\contrib\hbtip" generate or run line by line from CMD to create such libraries

Code: Select all

rem @echo off
rem *************************************
rem ADD in case Install OpenSSL
SET HB_WITH_OPENSSL=C:\OpenSSL32\include
SET HB_STATIC_OPENSSL=yes
rem *************************************

set Backup=%path%
set path=%path%;C:\hmg.3.4.4;c:\openssl32;C:\OpenSSL32\include
build hbtip.hbp
set path=%backup%

Hi Daniel,

Yep, that's in both my batch file, and in the application, using hb_SetEnv.

Almost everything is working fine, except for trying to readall(), which returns nothing. The headers are returned, and they contain data. But that's a separate issue. The response code is a 301, so maybe I have to use a diferent url, after retriving it from another property of the TIpClientHttp class. Don't know, yet.

I tested the equivalent code with Xailer's TInternet class, and was able to download the html. So that's available, in the meantime.

So for now, everything's good. Just have to explore & experiment further.

301 is a redirection directive

The response code is a 301, so maybe I have to use a diferent url, after retriving it from another property of the TIpClientHttp class. Don't know, yet.

this is what I found about answer 301

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-9.2

10.3.2 301 Moved Permanently

The requested resource has been assigned a new permanent URI and any
future references to this resource SHOULD use one of the returned
URIs. Clients with link editing capabilities ought to automatically
re-link references to the Request-URI to one or more of the new
references returned by the server, where possible. This response is
cacheable unless indicated otherwise.

The new permanent URI SHOULD be given by the Location field in the
response. Unless the request method was HEAD, the entity of the
response SHOULD contain a short hypertext note with a hyperlink to
the new URI(s).

If the 301 status code is received in response to a request other
than GET or HEAD, the user agent MUST NOT automatically redirect the
request unless it can be confirmed by the user, since this might
change the conditions under which the request was issued.

Note: When automatically redirecting a POST request after
receiving a 301 status code, some existing HTTP/1.0 user agents
will erroneously change it into a GET request.
