reading https file

Hi,

I have a screencraper application that read webpages with fopen() and then
processes them.

Now I found a https page that does not require a password. However, I cannot
read it with fopen().

My question is: are there other ways to read this page? Or is it technically
impossible?

Thanks,

Wim

I believe in order to use fopen() with secure sockets you need to have PHP
4.3 compiled with SSL support. Check your phpinfo and see if one of these
conditions isn't met.

Hi. I have some code that dynamically generates a PDF and spits this content directly to the web browser. I use HTMLDoc to create the Pdf's from html. So the user can click on a button "Print PDF" and the current page magically becomes a PDF file. This worked great until we moved the site to https. Now, when the button is clicked, I get a warning that This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the...

I tried to develop an application to download a file from an Https server. My application was able to download a file from a regural Http server. I used a WebProxy and i passed the NetworkCredential, but also it didn't work like:- Dim myProxy As New WebProxy("https://TheServername.com/", 443) Also I used that way to create a class to accept all kinds of certifications, and also it didn't work.

Hi, I need the HTML content of an extern webpage. Normally I just use file(http://externpage); to read the contents. But with file(httpS://externpage); i get an error. The script is running under http://, so that is probably the problem since http can't send to https (right?). Is there some workarround. I just need the the <formdata from the extern page.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
