texte = I am in a position where I would like to set up a WebDNA script to send information to a CGI on an SSL server (outside of my control). I need to do this as a batch executed by a trigger, as the whole purpose is to automate the procedure.My immediate thought was to simply have a TCPConnect (and TCPSend, obviously) context inside of a Founditems loop. My problem is this; the perl script is set up to only function with an SSL connection, and the information in my TCPSend is not SSL encrypted, so it only returns an error. Specifically, when I execute:[tcpconnect host=secure.domain.com&port=443][tcpsend]GET /cgi-bin/directory/script.cgi?field1=value1&field2=value2&etc=... HTTP/1.0 [UnURL]%0D%0A%0D%0A[/UnURL][/tcpsend][/tcpconnect]I get a response of:Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.Has anyone tackled this before? I must admit that my knowledge of the inner workings of SSL are not up to par, so I am not sure if this is a place for the Encrypt tag, or if what I am trying to do is even possible at all. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
