Post by chung »

i use an old http web socket code to access web data from a desktop freebasic program, but it doesnt work with https secured data.

i have found this C code which may work, can anyone translate it to freebasic ?

Code: Select all

What's your system (Win/Linux)? And do you have the FB - bindings of "openssl/ssl.h" and "openssl/err.h"?

That's bad, for "ssl.h" is BIG and includes about a dozen .h - files itself, and AFAIK there's no FB translation yet.

If you "only" want to get access to https, I recommend having a look at "libcurl". It's open source, and the bindings are part of the FB - distribution ("\inc\curl.bi")

thanks a lot, after searching the good download , i finally managed to make it work with the dll version (libcurldll)

note : i had to download libcrypto-1_1.dll libssl-1_1.dll (which seems to be openSSL dlls)
