Hi All

Any advice on how to post some variable to a HTTPS hosted web page and capture the resulting HTML?

I was hoping to use SPS VFPConnection but it returns a SSL error?

TIA

Chris.

'xmlhttp with https' in Google throws up loads of stuff, including
suggestions to set up a certificate on your server or settings to bypass
invalid certificate warnings.

apropos of almost nothing (well - an easy - and for me new - way to
get stuff from a webpage):

!/N2 powershell wget "http://icanhazip.com/" -outfile "wgot.txt"
?FILETOSTR('wgot.txt')

... actually my post may be a bit more relevant than I thought - in
PowerShell see:
Get-Help Invoke-WebRequest ## or
Get-Help Invoke-WebRequest -Online ## opens a web page!

- A bit cheeky of ms to give Invoke-WebRequest aliases which include
wget *and* curl
